Fr Mendoza, while drinking whisky, tells Sarchie he's "NA, not AA", but addiction recovery doesn't work like that. Perhaps there are recovery courses that sanction alcohol consumption, but NA is certainly not among them.
One of the strongest principles of NA is that the addict has to avoid ALL addictive substances, of which alcohol is a principal or "gateway" drug - avoiding even non-alcohol or "virgin" cocktails because they mimic the lifestyle associated with substance abuse. NA members count sobriety as time without ANY drugs or alcohol, and one sip of an alcoholic beverage resets the counter back to zero days. See more »

There is absolutely nothing original about this film. The acting isn't bad at all, but the plot is very generic. For the hardcore horror lover the movie will get boring and predictable, you've got the cop with some issues, you've got the priest know knows what's happening, you've got the cop's family with the little girl, the entire plot is a deja-vu.
The basis on which the occult is based has also been used in almost every exorcism film ever made, even though the writer tried to make it a bit more interesting by mixing Christian with persian mythology, however it didn't land that well.
The mystery character is also not very mysterious either, so I guess this film doesn't deserve more than 5 stars from me.
