Not that bad- Better than Lazarus Effect

I went with my son because we had nothing to do, so we went to see it without reading any reviews or anything. It was only us two in the whole theater. Nice!
Anyway, this isn't a "found footage" movie (thank goodness). There are some security camera scenes.
It wasn't your typical demonic possession movie. It went a step further. I'd watch again. Just don't expect this to be a big blockbuster winner. I'd say it's much better than Lazarus Effect movie with Olivia Wilde.

Even though I liked the movie, how did this go further? By teasing the Antichrist for 5 minutes? Ok, the ending included a twist we don't usually see, but besides that the movie is all about a girl being possessed by a demon.

I was the only one in my theater. While it wasn't necessarily a bad film, it was ultimately a forgettable one for me. That ending was unusual, but it just left me craving resolution. Overall, not bad but not very good.

There were things I liked about it though. The score was creepy in an old school, twisted "fun house" way and the scene where she manipulates the psych patients was awesome.

See you in hell, candy boys!

It was because the actors/ress' were recognizable.
