This is a solid exorcism horror film. Yes, it's in Korean (still unclear on why so many people refuse to watch movies with subtitles), but it is very good. Even twists the plot on your standard exorcism tropes in a way I don't believe I've seen done before. Really don't want to give away spoilers on that so that's all I'm saying. Good acting, creepy as hell with a few cringey gore scenes. I, myself, adore horror films. Total junkie so I've seen an obscene amount and this is definitely worth a watch. Especially if you like your exorcism/possession films.

It could've been a great movie, If only it's written just a bit smarter.

The dramatization is great, and each character is portrayed with strong and believable traits. Maybe because this movie came out in 2019, the level of impossibility still fits the standard of that time, so I can understand some of the decisions made in the story.

However, watching this now in 2025, the progression of the plot feels a bit lacking by today's standards. It's hard not to question the logic behind certain actions. I was genuinely surprised by how unrealistic some parts felt. I mean, who wouldn't run away immediately when their entire family suddenly has a doppelgänger-something that's not a miracle, but closer to a psychopath in form?

If I were in that situation, I'd never step foot in that house again, especially when all of it starts happening right after moving into a new neighborhood. The premise is creepy and intense, but the characters' reactions sometimes don't match how real people would behave in such terrifying scenarios.

Overall, it's a decent horror film with strong atmosphere and acting, but it doesn't hold up as well when judged by more modern story-telling standards.

If you are looking for an exorcism horror movie without big expectation this one is a nice choice.

It is morderately good, but it should have worked more with the family dynamics and the problems to make the whole thing way more suspense. As a viewer you know way to soon what was going on except a little bit in the end. It is not bad by any means, there are some good moments in there, but they could have done more with the concept. Plotholes aside, there were good ideas about the demon that could have played way more with the viewers mind.

Some scenes were quite good but it is no mindblowing new exorcism movie.

It is okay to watch and enjoyable but nothing standout really. The story just go with the flow and the ending feels empty, I think the movie wouldn't be lame if there's more plot and twist like more effort on explaining what is actually happening.
