    Entertainment

    Loved this movie. It was entertaining all the way through. Wasn't slow in any way and it delivered the story. Acting was only decent but make up, costumes and CGI was great. I definitely recomend.

    What a surprise!

    What a pleasant surprise! Almost the entire movie in a room, with a premise "from pranksters to reality" that we have seen numerous time, so, I was not expecting to be so surprised by this.

    There are some parts a bit over the top (when Drew is confessing about the profits or after he knows about...something), but, overall, the acting was very good. Some people complained about the CGI, but I liked, it had a bit of that vibe of those 80s/90s movies we would rent on a Friday night and would surprise us (the movie, itself, remind us a lot of classics, like The Exorcist or The Omen). The pacing is usually a big problem on movies with a low budget in a single room, but here it works really well and the ending is perfect - one of the best endings I've seen in the last years and (will say it again) bringing back that nostalgia again. And those ending credits, oh man!

    Very curious to check what this Director will give us next.

    Definetely underrated

    When i am out of popular horror movie titles to watch i always resort to as what i call "Failsafe horrors".The term reffers to "promising(in my taste)" movies under 1000 reviews on IMDB. I have to say i wasn't expecting much from this movie but it actually kept me glued to the screen. Beginning is meh-in a sense like all these horror films start with the same story, mid-movie was great and the big finale was WT?!? All in all i have to say it was worth watching and i really enjoyed it!

    Quite good

    This is one of the better straight forward horror movies of recent times. It is what it is and doesn't pretend to be anything else.

    The story and production are solid and the acting superb.

    Well worth watching if you are a horror fan.

    Most definitely above the curve

    You have to give this one points for originality. I think with a slightly larger budget this could have been a 10 out of 10 but damn it didnt stop me from enjoying this movie. Acting was outstanding and the story that pacing was perfect. There's a million possession films that have been done to death but this breathes some new life in a way that I havent seen since Emily Rose. I will definitely be recommending this one to other horror enthusiasts. God damn you gotta give a round of applause to the director and cast. I was really worried this one was gonna get real campy and the cliches would start rolling but once it gets going it doesn't let go of you.
