This film could have been so much better if it had been imbued with more empathy and a real feel for the horror and hopelessness of the given man's situation. They could have even done away with the demon sub-plot and let the movie take on a more abstract terror.Like the poignant vibes of the superb 'A Ghost Story' (2017) which had genuine resonance and a feel for the material.Instead, like old wallpaper, it hangs, it cracks and then it falls. Following suit and stumbling into the blind, schlocky arena you had hoped it would avoid. Dark, noisy monster and slurpy sound effects. I believe if they had thought it through, they could have had something quite original on their hands, 'a sad and ultimately moving horror movie' Instead, they played it safe and straight into the hands of the norm. Shame, they had half a good movie.
