After reading these reviews, I almost did not watch this movie. I'm glad I did. I read that a lot of the reviews were confused with the ending so here's my take on it. There's a whole lot of "reading between the lines" with this movie.
The movie began with a woman that supposedly had mental issues and was released from a hospital and committed suicide. Years go by to where her young son, Alex, was now college age and taking a course that touched on the subject of Astral Projection. Alex wanted to try it to see if he could connect with his Mother.
I was disappointed that they didn't show what Alex saw and experienced when he was astral projecting. I think everyone's experience in astral projecting is different.
Skipping to the end .... When they were with Michelle and she was reading for him, she detrmined Alex had a demon attached to him named Asmodeus. Once Michelle knew the demons name, she began the banishment. When she was done, Alex stopped choking his girlfriend, Alyssa, which was supposed to tell you that the demon had been banished. The scene ends. The next scene opens with Alex knocking on his Dad's door. You can see how much brighter and happier Alex looks when his Dad opened the door. As they were looking at pictures that Alex had drawn as a child, that last picture that he sat up and took notice of and then remembers back to when he was drawing it where his Mother gets up from the couch and goes upstairs and hangs herself ... then they pan back to the picture and you see the "shadow man" on the side of the paper. My take on this was that Mom wasn't psychotic and had the same demon attached to her ... and, imo, this would also tell Alex that his Mom didn't hang herself, but the demon made her do it.
