Scary like Mary Poppins The only scary thing for me in this movie was the cord hanging from the wall-mounted telephone in Annie's kitchen. It was completely twisted and no one, not a living soul, had either the time or inclination to unwind it. This, in itself, was blatantly cruel and bothered me for at least 20 minutes. (I hope this doesn't constitute a spoiler.)
My wife and I were both terrified; terrified that somebody would break into our house, hold us at gunpoint and force us to watch the entire movie. Fortunately for us, that didn't happen.
Anyone who became scared watching this film, should never, under any circumstances, consider watching Rosemary's Baby or the original Exorcist, and if you were terrified, then, by all means, stay away from the original Jaws.
I am astounded at the 8.3 Metascore, but then again, my wife and I find that for the most part, the criteria for a high score must include deep, profound meanings and subtle undertones that completely elude us, (neither of which apply to this movie) or, as is the case here, be so inane, as to make watching it a real chore and not worth the effort.
