If you want to create a movie that deals with the horrors of war, maybe you shouldn't bait and switch the audience into thinking they're about to watch a paranormal horror movie.
Not what I wanted to see. At all.
I went through this mess waiting for the payoff in the final act and was completely disappointed. I don't think the creators had any idea where they were going either.
I realize there are a lot of heavy themes in the film and that's fine but they pulled at a dozen threads and then left them hanging. They brought up a lot of questions and then told the audience to figure it out themselves.
The acting is good. The characters are interesting. But then the story...
The story begins with a lot of potential but it quickly derails. Is it a paranormal movie? Kind of. Is it a preachy one act play about morality and war? Kind of. Is it an unfinished ball of contradictions that ends with a whimper, definitely.
If the goal was to irritate the audience and leave them wishing they'd chosen a different movie, mission accomplished.
