8/10
Surprisingly good!

First of all, you should know that I am not a fan of the horror genre. Suspense, yes, horror, not so much. So the very idea that I am reviewing this film makes a statement. I felt every aspect of this film was well constructed, a work from the heart, I would Imagine. The actors were excellent and worked very well together. The casting, plot, setting, dialogue, soundtrack, the few special effects they used(and not abused), and particularly, the demon were all admirably executed and pulled a rating of 8 from me. I probably don't need to add that's likely the highest rating I've ever given a film of this genre. There's some blood and guts, as it were, but no real gore. It didn't try too hard, it was a relatively simple plot, yet creative, and they didn't attempt to overshoot it, which frankly, is refreshing in any film. In short, they did it right. I would easily recommend this film to anyone, regardless of their film preferences; it's just that well done. It's a good viewing and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, as I was.
