Well, going in to this movie I had pretty low expectations as I'd heard that a lot of people were disappointed.
I was not. Mind you I was a big fan of Blair Witch Project, and a lot of folks didn't care for that. Here we have the mere power of suggestion, the shadow on the wall, the 'thing that goes bump in the night'. It works and it works to perfection here.
Katie has been haunted by a demon since childhood - Micah, her new boyfriend, who she has recently moved in with, just found out. So Micah decides he's going to take charge of the situation. When the psychic they consult tells Micah that, whatever you do, DON'T p*ss this thing off by talking to it, what does Micah do? In good horror movie form ("Don't open that door!!!") he TAUNTS it. The feeling of "Oh no you DIDN'T just say/do that" is wonderfully creepy and you just know this fool has opened up a can of worms. I mean, a Ouija board?! Weren't you listening to that guy, Micah?!?!? LOL Fun and scary, the movie ends with quite a bang, and that was the theatrical ending... I haven't seen the alternate ending but I hear it's even more disturbing. Highly recommended to purchase on DVD because you will want to see this more than once.
