Pretty boring
31 January 2018
A mediocre horror/mystery movie about a girl killed during an exorcism and a young journalist trying to investigate the case. I had the feeling this movie was motivated by better examples of the genre but tried too hard to imitate a certain look and atmosphere, ending in endless dialogue and driving around without anything happening. The background story is a bit convoluted and at a certain point I decided to no longer care. The ending receives an intense climax but was predictable and you don't really worry about the protagonist. The acting was ok to naive, no terrible bad acting but lifeless and boring as the whole movie.

The mystery stuff has been seen on screens hundreds of times already, nothing new here, although the old buildings, nature and scenery do look great. Even the SFX were the same old stuff - black eyes, unearthly deep voice, demon makes things fly around so on.

The main actress is quite young and did not convince me yet. She is good looking and I guess that's why they cast her. A secondary female role was filled in by Brittany Ashworth, who delivered a better playing, yet they all somehow had to struggle with the weak story, dilaogues and directing.

I was very happy when it finally ended and the only horror I felt was the thought of having to see it again one day. There are worse movies, but in the end wasted time is wasted time.
