Frankenweenie (2012)
Absolutely adored it. My favorite movie of the year, hands down, and definitely Burton's finest. Loved it from the beautiful homages to horror to the stunning direction and stop-motion animation - You also had a very real, very honestly touching story. I laughed. I cried. I want to own it. Highly recommended.
5/5.

The Possession (2012)
I honestly don't think that this movie successfully built up or created horror at all. There was perhaps one creepy/unsettling moment toward the end, but up until then it didn't really do it for me. I mean, even though The Last Exorcism was flawed, it at least created a successfully creepy atmosphere... This was just... Didn't.
2.5/5.

House at the End of the Street (2012)
Awful. Just... Simply awful... Especially the "twist." At least we got to see Jennifer Lawrence running around in a tank top a lot, which was nice.
2/5.

Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)
As someone noted on this forum already, this movie was absolutely unnecessary. Seriously. I actually liked the third one as I thought that it built on the first two, plus there were some damn good clever effects and the little girls were hauntingly believable. But this was totally unnecessary and ultimately forgettable. Also seemed just really really lazy to me.

Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011)
In two words: Utterly charming. Really adored it.
Everything will be all right in the end. If it's not all right, then it is not yet the end.
4/5.
Hotel Transylvania (2012)
To be honest, with the combination of Adam Sandler and the animation, which did not immediately appeal to me, I thought this movie was going to be awful... However, it turned out to be really really cute. My biggest complaint was how incredibly lame the human infiltrator was... Regardless, though, it was a fun little watch that kept me entertained.
3/5.
