Diary (2006)

I wish it had more "horror"

I bought this movie randomly at a gaming store because the cover looks pretty cool and I thought it would be a scary movie about dolls and a psychological thriller. Even though it wasn't what I thought or wanted it was pretty predictable and a bit boring at times.

I liked some of the ambience, some of the main lead spiraling scenes, and they did good in making me think what they wanted me to think. I wasn't confused by the end. My favorite horror scene was with the giant doll, it was really creepy and slow but I couldn't look away from the screen during that scene. I honestly wish they would have done more scenes like that or built on that doll's creepiness.

I didn't like how predictable it was. I've watched a lot of psychological horror movies, it's actually my favorite genre of horror, but I felt like I was five steps ahead of the movie at all times. I also really didn't like that the movie told us what was wrong very early on and didn't really leave us guessing or figuring it out ourselves as viewers.

Overall I liked the idea but it could have been better. It's not a very long movie and has a couple of good scenes. I think it's a good movie to just watch once. But there are definitely better psychological horrors out there that are easier to find.
