Pros
1. The twist - Told in a third-person POV, the story is unravelled effectively to deliver the twist at the end of the film.
Cons 1. The characters - Having all-female casts as the main characters feels like a typical stereotype to justify the theme of the story.
2. The pace - Clocking 90 minutes, the simple plot feels so stretched in order to make sense of everything.
3. The scare - They are commonly used in many other horror movies and are very familiar.

Tooooooooo repetitive and predictable

The same illusions and nightmares happens over and over again until it became predictable and silly. The problem is that the makers of this movie focus on horror scenes and forget about the story and scenario which are the most important things.

Overrated!

To be very honest, this horror movie is nothing near to The Conjuring at all! It's a movie mostly about curses and witchcraft, not much of ghost, demon or paranormal activity except a few scenes of the two ghost children playing. Although it's scary, creepy and eerie but it's a very slow movie and some scenes were boring. The plot is good but it's not fresh as similar storylines have been used too often before. Makeups and lightings have been used to replace CGI but still need a lot of improvement especially on the makeup effects. As for eerie and creepy background sound effects, they have been used way too often, even when the cast were having normal conversation. I feel that the movie is too hard sell and trying too hard. The only plus points I can give are the jump scares which were very succesful in delivering BUT too many jump scares again make this whole movie meaningless as from beginning till the end it's only jump scare, jump scare, and more jump scares. Imho, jump scares are a lazy way to frighten viewers, a few jump scares are good but not throughout the entire movie!
I like this horror story

Sucks

Honestly, this movie make me wonder when will it end at all time in the cinema. You cheap trick for horror movie such as jumpscares... Lots and lots and lots of jump scare. Also the plot never progress until the last 20 minutes in the movie. Worse horror movie in 2018, and yea I just watch Hereditary a few days a go so it may affect my expectation for this movie before it started. Would give it a one star if not for a little twist at the end.
Thumbs up!

This was a very good movie. It's an interesting look at possession and "malediction" in the Muslim world. I didn't expect to like this movie as much as I did. The movie story line is really great an the jumps scares are very good.
The movie made sense only after a certain point.

Warning: Spoilers
Pro:
1) The tone is there
Con: 1) Too many jumpscare. Almost every scary part of the movie involves cheap jumpscare. 2) Many part doesn't make sense until after a certain point. By that point, the movie almost came to a close anyway. And that doesn't justify the confusion before the reveal.
"Why were the girls avoid seeking help after getting scared from the nightmares/ghosts?" is a question that bugging me from beginning to the end of the movie.
I think this movie works better if it were a short film or something like that.
