Someone looking for character development in a horror movie is, well, searching in the wrong place, I dare to say. The Offering is a solid entry, not one of the best nor one of the worst movies of that kind - black magic, possession, demons. Of course, we watched everything The Offering offers (pun intended) many times but there is some solid production and solid acting provided, and, last but not least, I like that the movie is settled in the Jewish belief system and culture, which adds a certain special flavor to the story. Not too bad and if you like movies a la Insidious, The Possession, The Other Side of the Door and so on, you may get just a decent snack in between on your plate. Exact rate: 4.5.
