Ominous

The synopsis on the back of the box indicates that this is just some typical film about demons that most of it is but where this movie goes from just boring and average to pure garbage is in the opening sequence when the movie looks more like a hammer horror than a bone chilling thriller. It is impossible to take it seriously, which for these types of films is usually the only redeeming quality. Add some mischievous characters and bad writing, and since Dracula 2000 you have the worst excuse for a scary film.

I have seen just about every horror movie I can get my hands on, but I would not classify this as a horror so much as a suspense/thriller. For a low budget movie, I thought it was pretty good and I think it would have been better with some money put into it. The movie is not gory, volatile or anything like that. It was subtle and not exactly straight forward and yes, the movie did drag at times, but it makes sense at the end of the movie. The sound production could have been better and a couple of the actors seemed nervous more than bad acting and there was some good acting. Some may not like it, but some may. I still think for a low budget movie, it was worth a watch. The plot is not exactly what you think it is.

The best thing about this movie is I a saw it for free on Amazon Prime. A couple of the actors weren't bad until they started talking. The movie also made me think. For example, when the mother was taking a bath it made me wonder why were there candles all over the place? Why didn't the mother or father notice the daughter was dragging a dirty doll around the house? The sound was so bad I'm thinking maybe I missed something. I wonder how much it cost to make this movie and how much money Amazon paid for it. I'm retired and have plenty of time on my hands and think I could probably do a better job than the people who made this turkey.

Let me first state that I'm not overly critical about movies in general. I've never written a review on IMDb because I normally don't care enough to, but in this situation I consider it a public service to warn others about this movie. It should have come with a warning. As someone else mentioned, the parents acted like porn stars (I actually said to my friend "did we rent a porn?"), dramatic music started from the first scene. The sound and video editing was literally worse than a high school video project. The only reason I watched the whole thing was because it was like a car wreck, I needed to stare, then after a while I had invested so much time I needed to see where they were going with it. The last couple of minutes were remotely interesting, but do not make up for this mess, and I don't think most people would last long enough to see it. Low budget doesn't have to mean terrible movie, there are a lot of excellent movies put together with shoestring budgets, but there was simply no effort with this one. I too feel bad for the actors in this movie, but they should feel bad that we paid to watch this. Where do I demand a refund?

Allow me to express,the fact that I am no movie reviewer,but this "film" leaves me no option. If you see this title, in the local grocery store snackmachine, run, don't walk, to the nearest exit. This thing is horrendous. It was like watching robots, trying to build robots.(Sorry,Will Smith) Whatever point they tried to make at the end, was completely lost on me, as I was too busy figuring out how much wood, could a woodchuck chuck...

Boring, and tedious, to the point of absurdity, I saw no link,between the first hour, and the rest of this atrocity.

My advice? Find another duck.
