7.2/10 (Recommend)
Watching the trailer I did not have high expectations for this film. I thought it would be corny and laughable, but it turned out to be more solid than had been hoped for. It's also slightly different than what I imagined as I thought it was a possessed child over mythological child.
There's a good cast with a good range of personalities. They've got good chemistry that allows them to work off each other and add some humour to the film. The characters aren't just random Joe-blows that scream to no end either. They actually work at sorting out the problem in front of them. Alisha Weir (Abigail) is particular good in her role as she flips between sweet and innocent to otherworldly.
The cinematography is good. It could be better, but it captures the build-up moments well enough to get heart racing. While nothing is overly terrifying there are moments that may or may not catch you off guard. There's a good amount of violence and blood to make feel like a movie where people die.
As the movie finishes up it does get a little weird. The whole time you've got this cat and mouse game where things do happen, but they're drawn out so it feels boring. There's a moment when the action culminates and then the movie ends with both satisfaction and disappointment.
In the end I still enjoyed the film. There's good action and decent comedy. I was able to switch off my mind and let whatever happen, happen. It allowed to have fun and get my heart racing a few times. This is a movie worth checking out in theatres. You could rewatch this movie again, but time would have to pass to enjoy it to its fullest again.
That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!
