This movie has the reason I just don't like watching horror movies: Paper-thin and one-dimentional characters, full of clichés of the modern horror genre including: A halloween setting, haunted books, dogs barking at "paranormal activity", the characters investigate about the monster/paranormal creature, the characters consult an expert that knows about the thing, lights always fail and goes dark anytime the monster is near and the most annoying thing: JUMPSCARES. Pointless jumpscares that are there because the movie doesn't know any other way to scare you or to be creepy. It's always the same: Music stops for a while and then a loud noise. Sometimes they don't even make sense and one of the monsters literally makes a jumpscare to the audience. It's the most unoriginal, boring movie with no creativity and with all the clichés of the genre.

I can't believe Guillermo Del Toro was involved in this.
