Featured reviews
I noticed this the other day & after watching the trailer in which I didn't realize the detective was Tom Sizemore, I went & read a review & knew it was going to be a good movie. I was right. You have to understand those who usually leave reviews on here. They are young, have been completely dumbed down & can't stand anything that isn't a huge hollywood propaganda production. They like lot's of things going BOOM, lots of blood, gut's & sex, and do not want to have to use their brain which has never been used before. Is this a fast-paced, action-packed, shoot'em-up movie? No, not at all. Is it better than the majority of what hollywood produces today? Definitely. I loved Tom Sizemore. He was one of my favorite actors since I started watching him back in the 90's. This was definitely not his usual role, but he was perfect for it. I even found myself a little spooked out at times, and got the chills a few times. I'm a little confused as to how no one could understand it, or keep up with it, but that just goes to show you exactly what I said about today's society is true. If you don't mind thinking, or don't need a huge mind-numbing hollywood production to enjoy a movie then you'll definitely want to check this out. Especially if you like Sizemore.
If you are looking for people shooting 1000 yards past the effective range of a weapon from a car flying off the cliff and doing a ninja roll to escape all injury. Then this isn't the movie for you.
Just a good haunting story, that reveals itself slowly but tantalizingly. If you like actual storytelling this is your kind of movie.
The acting, directing and production is solid. It's the story itself that's compelling about this movie. Telling you much more would give away part of the story. It does roll on at it's own slow pace and deliberately pulls you back at times. There could have also been a little more clarification on a few things. That'd be my only real complaint.

The idea was not new, but was decent. Some of the acting was good, most was painful. RIP Tom Sizemore, but darn, he did a terrible job. The story line was so convoluted because it didn't know whether it wanted to be a horror movie, a folk tale, or a drama. This desperately needed a better director to help it choose its genre, and it needed a better editor to cut it way down. I actually fast forwarded through many scenes just so I could get through it. It gets 4 stars because I was actually interested enough to see it through to the end, albeit by skipping a few scenes here and there. If you have nothing else to do one night, you could watch it, but be prepared to be patient and fast forward here and there!
TLDR for those that don't want to read my review: great film, slow burn, film told partially in flashbacks & unique idea in its genre.
This was surprising good. I was expecting something cheesy with a bit of tension or a few jump scares & there were none! That's refreshing in a low budget flick.
Part of my surprise came from being told this is a horror & the rest came from the cover. It's more of a thriller or noir type with a supernatural twist. Impuratus is nothing like The Exorcist or one of the many knock offs. It's also not like anything in the Conjuring universe, from the ones I've seen.
I've watched so many horror / thrillers that I can usually figure out who lives / dies & any twists within 20 minutes. It's so refreshing to watch a movie where I knew where the story was going, but I couldn't figure out how it got there until right before the reveal. Then there's another twist at the end I didn't see coming & I love it! The writers did a great job taking a tired, overused trope & putting their own unique spin on it.
The actors all did good to great in their roles with the detective & patient being the best in my opinion. This movie deserves to be a cult classic. I recommend this wholeheartedly.

The movie is simply terrible but the acting manages to be even worse. Its almost funny, like some kind of parody.
You keep asking yourself which One is the worst because they all sucks so bad, its amazing.
