Not a bad little movie! The actress from the Halloween franchise is pretty good. The boy actor was ok. Nice surprise twist at the end. I liked it! Give it a try!
Good story just a tad on the long side. Good acting .
Good film! Kept me guessing to the end. My only problem is the kid was a terrible actor. So much fake "mommy" whining throughout the film.
Awwwwwwesome! Kept me guessing what was real and what wasn't, right to the end. Great story, great acting, and full of surprises.
Now, whether it's Asmodeus or other demons, I generally really enjoy films about these demons. Last year there was a similar one called Dark Song. This film isn't as good as that one, but we still saw a much more creatively processed version of the cliché exorcism or cliché otherworldly connections in this production. I quite liked it, it was very entertaining. By the way, the manifestation of a demon into human life is not that easy. It doesn’t matter how special you are or if you’re the heir to some silly cult. That just doesn’t happen. You don’t have any special traits. There’s nothing like this in demonology, but of course, nonsensical things are written to advance the script. However, we obviously love all productions remotely related to Gnosticism. So, I really enjoyed watching this production.
