Could've Been really Good


As I was watching I noticed the nod to Burnt Offerings and the pool scene. I was intrigued. It also, at that point, reminded me of the Twilight Episode The Bewitchin' Pool which I was hoping would be the direction it took.

If they had spent more time on the background of the Entity it could've helped. I know they visited the mother of Rebecca and we sort of got the motivation. But I would've liked more. However, I actually liked it more than other people. But it definitely could've been better.

I agree. The story with previous owner was good (where she talks about wishing wells and making a sacrifice), and they should have went more in that direction. The CGI monster looked silly, and instead of showing us that monster, they might’ve been better off just using some kind of unseen malevolent spirit in the pool
