Do you like child actors? Do you like spooky jump scares that aren't real? Me neither. But this wasn't poorly made, and if you don't despise seeing children on screen like I do, you may enjoy the experience. I'm not usually a fan of spooky ghost stories (especially demons) because the story is always the same. There is a ghost or demon, then someone yells bible verses at it. The end.
This movie benefited from a lack of stupid religious angles to "solve the ghost problem." But it was still just a stupid "haunted item" movie. The unoriginal idea of having it take place in Salem seemed like a reason to avoid coming up with an original back story.
Netflix made a movie a few years back about a priest faking exorcisms. This is along those lines, but a little bit worse, because it's slightly less original that the fake priest story.
That said, the sound was mixed well, it was shot on proper cameras, and the movie did have some type of story throughout. This isn't worth less than 5 stars. And if you actually enjoy ghost movies, you could see it as a much higher score. Watch it if you like ghost stories. If you liked that fake priest movie on Netflix, you will like this one.
