I like Alper Mestci movies. This film is like conjuring series. Actually, I can say it is better than the conjuring. There are a lot of jumpscare scenes.

The reason I watched this movie was because of the misleading review of 8.5. The storyline was draggy, there was no climax, no actual plot, just full of "out-of-body" experiences with predictable jumpscares.

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.

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!

People who really want to encounter some scary violent scenes, would like this movie. Also the director hasn't depicted it straight rather there is twist & mystery.
