This movie had some potential. After looking at some of the reviews here and seeing some 8,9,and even 10 star reviews, I thought I'd give it a shot. As some of the better reviews mentioned, I liked the slow pacing and the avoidance of the gratuitous use of CGI.
Unfortunately, the story built slowly, slowly, slowly, but finally ever so slowly just dribbled out into an empty ending. I was kind of hoping around mid film the pace would be building towards a dramatic climax, but it never happened.
Some of the acting was just fair (barely), but far from inspiring. I don't really blame the actors - they weren't given anything to work with.
The 4 stars are for a mildly interesting tale. It's missing the other 6 stars for not fulfilling the potential of what could have been a good exorcism story.
