I'm not usually a fan of possession type movies, but this one was fun to watch once the 3rd act kicked in. Let me back up.

Basic plot: Some teens are having a party at an old, abandoned, rundown, school /hospital/permanent home, for less than smart children, where horrible things were done to them, and many died. Many, many years ago. During the party, a possession ensues. Ok, I know, an incredibly unique plot. If you watch this movie through the eyes of someone who is expecting: great acting, great dialog, original story, then you will be disappointed. But, if you want to see: things that are supposed to be taken seriously, but make you laugh instead, some really cool gore, and gory deaths with practical.... I will say that again, practical effects for the gore instead of cgi, which looks awesome, and a nice twist ending? Then this is your movie. It can be a little slow early on. But once it kicks in, it's pretty entertaining. I feel like many of these reviewers may not have watched the whole movie. It does ramp up in action. If you do watch it, have fun with it.

I just finished my second viewing. I saw more than gore this time around. The director, who I believe is also the writer, added an interesting story, with an unexpected swerve at the end. The gore for this is awesome. If you are a fan of Fulci, Bava, or any of the old-guard gore masters you will love this. The story isn't great, but it is fun at times. The third act definitely ramps up the story in an interesting way. The director will have a hard time doing a better job on another sequel. He now has to up the gore, and write a better story. Not to mention, his mini-me.

I thought the acting was decent. I'm not an expert on acting, so I don't like to comment unless it was incredibly extreme, one way or the other. Here, we are within the spectrum. The main actress was likeable. Little brother was annoying. Maybe because he was going through puberty, and his voice was changing, he just always sounded like he was whining. I liked the main actress. Maybe because she looks like a youtuber named Brett, I subscribe too. Who knows. Anyway, if you are a gore freak like me, and you like sick jokes, you will like this.
