I thought my friends and I would take a risk in the selection for our little scary movie night. Our choice turned out to be quite the risk.
On the cover, it says, "A contemporary 'Exorcist'". This would attract most horror-movie lovers... Dorothy Mills did not even come close.
The beginning was interesting and creepy. The rest of the beginning was a loosely threaded, tangled, jumble of half-stories. Half-stories, because they could have been sagas. They were all condensed into less than two hours.
The acting was fine, the little girl, even though her storyline is obscured. The main actress was fine as well...but the focus seemed to be on her, once again diminishing any sense of terror.
At the end, the story does make sense...but remember, there was an entire hour and a half of confusion before.
I give the movie credit for having me sit through the entire disappointment (even with snickering and negative remarks).
