Solid price of filmmaking. Acting was especially effective. Pace was rough for first half. Setup took awhile. Second half was enjoyable. Solid watch although conclusion could have been more solid.
i hate the obv dumb people, but overall, good movie! unexpected
Wildly good. Probably my favorite possession film thus far. The pacing felt good, the clues are all there. I loved it.
Though it starts of slow - and when I say slow, I mean snail-speed slow - it picks up speed by the second hour and keeps the pace going until the end. It is well executed, and only gets creepier as it goes on. It's like Thailand's answer to "Paranormal Activity". Horror fans everywhere should give this a shot.
Decent horror flick but the film was not able to stick the landing.
