My Thoughts 
-- Lazy to type ... so some random thoughts ... 

(i) Plot/Pace/Events related ... 
... some scary scenes indeed ... 
... thought the ending was so so ... sigh ... 
... thought the story could have dwelt with the past much better ... 
... there was an interesting parallel ... the story told of two mothers who loved their children ... 

(ii) Acting 
... the female protagonist carried her role well ... 
... the old lady was scary ... 

Conclusion 
Recommended, but only as a mainstream movie. 

PS: unfortunately, it did not have the analytical depth that I found in Pan's Labyrinth ... ;(
