Well this movie has a ok atmosphere. It is in no way a scary movie and the effects well, there are no special effects.
The male antagonist is just about the worst actor I have ever seen. And I have seen a few. He is incredibly unbelievable. The female is mediocre.

I'm not 100% sure what I was expecting after seeing the poster...but it wasn't this!
It's more of a TV drama with a hint of horror, than an actual film.
It looks like one of those 2-part dramas that you see a lot on BBC One and ITV. In fact, my gf walked into the room while I was watching it and said "what channel is this?".
The sound, lighting and cinematography make the film come across very amateurish. It's very unpolished.
The acting is mediocre at best - the only person that was convincing as an actor, was the priest...everyone else seemed like this was their first gig.
Full of horrible and unlikeable characters, (especially Ben the boyfriend). He seems to switch his mood from loving and caring to abusive and disrespectful in the blink of an eye...very annoying. Plus his acting was sub-par, particularly when he was shouting. Lucy's friend acts like a random person that they literally grabbed off the street moments before filming...she was awful...couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag. Her acting was so bad, that she ruined the scene...and it kills the illusion...you suddenly become very aware that you're watching a film.
IDK...the poster gave me pure demonic possession/exorcism vibes...and i was looking forward to a film dedicated to that...but that's not what I got, there was hardly any.
Not the worst film I've watched this year, but definitely somewhere in the mix. Very disappointing.

I guess I'm too old to appreciate modern horror films. This movie is yet another where two unlikeable people live together and one goes to a job he hates and the other stays in their haunted house. The house is always dark, even in the daylight and they never turn on any lights. The woman does very little. She rides her exercise bike but mostly sleeps, or lays awake or stands in the kitchen drinking, while staring blankly at nothing, but is in school. When he's home, he is always angry about his job and blows up at her frequently for no actual reason. He supposedly loves her but never gives her the benefit of the doubt if the cabinets are all suddenly opened by supernatural forces. I don't see that whatever boogeyman is wreaking havoc could be much worse than the jerk she lives with who has only one emotion...anger. They don't play music or watch TV or movies. They never leave their cold, dark, sterile house, not together at least. Demons, or not, stalking her, one thing is certain...she's already in hell. She could pack her things and move out. Her life could only improve as a result. Why she wants to stay with that volatile plank of wood of a boyfriend of hers, is anyone's guess. Her girlfriend tells her she should leave him but she refuses. If you enjoy watching boring, irritating people sit around and talk or yell at each other, then this is the movie for you.
The acting and script are only ok.... for an adult film.
To be fair, with a script like this, I can't imagine any actor being able to pull this off. Their responses to each other are not natural.. ppl don't say these things to each other...
The husband is happy one line, furios the next , to happy again and I can't for the life of me figure out what caused these emotions.
If you want a scary movie , don't watch this. If you want a good laugh, I recommend it. Just when you think the acting and script can't get any worse... BAM.

If ever you find yourself starring in a movie of any kind: Prepare.
The boyfriend being the worst actor, ever, we continued watching, half heartedly. The idea behind the man in the black hat, the shadow man, the dark man, is a common enough premise, however sleep paralysis and demonic possession are two different things. None of which was executed believably. I usually can watch just about anything supernatural but this was bad. The only good came from the priest. I am still looking at twenty more minutes before the end and cannot wait.
Let me be as shallow as the grave: The scariest part of this movie was the lead actress' skin.
Forgo this one if you crave frights.
