Premise wasted, but it could've been great

When I started watching this movie, the premise seemed great. You know, a young couple moving in to a new home, and soon having their life ruined by some kind of supernatural entity. (Yes, it might sound familiar, and there is another movie with a title ending with "-belle" built on about the same premise.)

Unfortunately it was poorly executed. No, wait. Poorly? We're rather talking about sheer incompetence here. Not mistakes, but deliberately bad decision making.

So, here comes the spoilers. This is just one of all those movies built on the idea that one of the protagonists experience some kind of supernatural/demonic entity, while the rest of the characters don't. The female sees this, uhm, thing, but her husband don't. A well known movie trope - portray the protagonist as isolated in his or her struggle against whatever horror he/she is up against.

And that's the problem. It could've been built on the premise that the female protagonist sees this ghost (or whatever it's meant to be), while the male protagonist don't and subsequently doesn't believe in it. Yet, the dude (husband) goes off to see some kind of voodoo priest or whatever kind of hoodoo holy this character is supposed to be, to get some advice on what's haunting his wife. You know, the kind of supporting character that sees dead people and all that, and has answer to all the questions about how to handle the situation, but no help to offer at all. Yet the husband returns to his wife, believing that she's just going nuts, after being told by - and believing - the hoodoo holy that she isn't, and that there actually is a ghost out to get them. IE, in one shot he believes her, in the next one he doesn't. Come on, make up your mind, will ya?

And the ghost? Well, we get to see her up close in every now and then. Yes, up close. In full detail. That. Is. Not. How. You. Build. Suspense. Adding red glowing eyes with CGI to the ghost doesn't make it more scary. It just looks cheap.

With a more skilled director (as well as script writer), this could have been a great horror flick. What we got was some kind of high school project in film making.
