This is well acted, but doesn't make enough sense.
It doesn't show us enough why; that could be a creative decision to highlight the confusion and mystery of dark unseen forces, but this movie doesn't draw that picture well enough. Instead, it just leaves stuff out. Instead of dread, we get "WTF?"
And then the story jumps from showing tasty reality-based detail, to then making giant leaps in credibility of the protagonist getting from here to there and back again.
It's a mess, and the worst part is that it doesn't have to be a mess. I could be better written and edited.
The acting was terrific all around, though.
Halfway through, I gave it a 6. But at film's end, downgraded it to 5. It should have been better, especially for 90 mil.
