Not scary in the least. More like a drama

This is a good movie, but it isn't scary. This is a drama about trauma, loss, mental illness, and how religion preys on the troubled and vulnerable. It's still definitely worth a watch, but bring some caffeine; if you watch it while cozy in the dark, you'll probably doze off a bit.
