Boring, stupid, bad acting, close to no plot

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this one after reading the great review here and I am more than disappointed. It took about 5 minutes to know that a long 90 minutes have just begun... the opening is plain stupid, the acting in the first car sequence comes across pretty fake and as soon as the palm readers house comes up its getting close to ridiculous. Before that it works OK with the wing-flapping, nice camera-moves and dark forest, eerie music but that house and its inhabitants. When they first opened the door I thought its turning into a comedy. The palm reader and her daughter are the most stupid thing in this movie. The killings are idiotic and it looks like one of these plastic hammers from toy shops is banged on the victims heads by the pseudo-eerie daughter of the palm reader. After 40 Minutes I was close to stop watching because there is nearly nothing happening and the music is overused so it turns from eerie to a lullaby along with the awful slow pacing. The plot is nearly non-existent and seems too stupid to be true. I sat through the whole movie hoping that some real cool twist was coming up to see an ending which doesn't even deserve that name, especially because you never get to see the "evil" roaming the forest... Avoid this movie if you are not a fan of polished trash. The visuals are not bad at times, but the acting, make-up and the strange sound-mix of the movie (voices are too low compared with the screams so either you get annoyed by the ridiculous screaming by the main actress or you barely can hear the dialogs) make it hard work to watch.
