I'll keep this short. Great concept, love the setting and Lazarus is a solid character with a talented actor to play him. However, I found it extremely difficult to look past the constant establishing shots that would come in the middle of a tense scene, the inconsistency in choosing a transition style, and the random ending of nice moments with a jump cut to black.
Not only do the characters make bad choices (i.e. Sarah storming into the shed where she knows a murderer and his demon daughter are located in) but the filmmakers seem to cut their own suspense by building up a scene only to bring it immediately down by changing the shot and now the characters and score anxiousness levels have been significantly reduced (I.e. the scene where Sarah runs into the house after seeing the demon daughter and bloody clothes).
I have a tendency to over analyze. If you want something that has a unique setting, great main actor, and a slower pace, then you might like this. However, it wasn't my cup of tea.
