Please don't waste an hour and half and the edit is even worse

Wow! Where does one start on this stupidity? Beginning had promise but ventured into impossible possession. Don't waste your time

I enjoyed portions of the film while others were under-cooked, incomplete, or unnecessary. I'll give no spoilers and I see no reason to restate the description - seemed like a handful of ideas based loosely on other films. There wasn't enough character development and not enough direction. We end up post editing with a little of this and a little of that and maybe not enough of any one thing. The film wasn't all that bad but I had a difficult time getting close enough to any one character to really feel invested as an audience. The film did not have that low budget B feel which made the meandering and slower pace tolerable. Special effects are minimal and fairly well executed. The film could have been better had the director done a better job. The cast suffered because the director let them down and that let the audience down.

Acting was ok but script gave characters with little or logical depth. At many times I thought characters with small roles would deepen and develop the story but then they seemed to disappear from the story even though their roles in the story if expanded would have given this film more sense to a confusing story. The hospital priest seemed to have unexplained insight into what was going on then suddenly disappeared. There was a role of an expert in to the afterlife and possession. I think. Very confusing character. I assumed this would be explained more later in the movie with his help in the couples situation. But then he was not to be seen again even though he seemed aware of the situation and consequences. The concerned sister who appeared quickly and put the couple in contact with him disappeared from the film too. The major role of the husband was just baffling. He seemed to be dismissive of the supernatural. Then a believer. Then not. And so on. His father was a policeman who's wife left him to bring his son up alone. Why? Was this an upcoming strong plot point. Nope. The wife had a father who had committed suicide because of his beliefs in supernatural. Was he mentally ill or actually able to see spirits etc? Could be an important plot point. Nope never mentioned again. The ending did not make any sense whatsoever. I think I know what it was trying to be. But I could be totally wrong it was that confusing. There was an ongoing terrible special effect that could have been forgiven if the story was better handled. But it wasnt so made the film look even cheaper. The quality of the actors was hard to judge as the material and story was so poor. Very disappointing for me. So many directions the film could have gone in that may have been better.It may have been edited badly and had a more coherent plot removed that made the film seem worse who knows? All I can say is in my opinion this is a very poor movie. I dont normally read too many reviews of movies I am attracted to to avoid spoilers so ultimately the blame lies in me for not looking at others views especially on IMDB for a little insight before viewing. And again that ending? Oh dear! If this review contains spoilers I would really like to know what they are and I maybe misunderstood a classic. But I find that highly unlikely.

This movie got everything wrong. The plot is lazy and unoriginal, the characters are horribly written and horribly acted and the "special effects" are incredibly cheap (am I supposed to take those red eyes seriously? I have seen better effects in Goosebumps). Plus the ending makes no sense and the direction is non-existent. I'm baffled that such garbage found its way in the theatres.
