    it's just ok

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

    Great Characters and Tension, but Outdated Logic by Today's Standards

    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.

    This movie is super underated

    This is one of the best exorcism movie I have ever watched. No cheap jump scare no nonsense talk not even 1 minutes of unnecessary plot. Completed and compelling. Surpassed a lot of big budget horror crab. You shouldn't miss it.

    Not worth it

    It felt like watching the same thing over and over. .The movie is long, kind of felt bored. It is just dragged to much. However, It has a unique concept to some extend as in horror movies, we typically get to see a ghost to enter someone's body and possessed it. But, in this movie shape shifter is kind of new. A demonic spirit or I donno what to referred it, can change shapes and faces too.

    I Am Not A Massive Fan of Exorcism Movies

    They've all been aping the 73 film for the most part, and falling short while they did. This had a very different take on it, and some smart ideas of its own. It didn't over rely on jump scares either, aiming for atmosphere and overall creep instead of giving you fluff and "Boo! I scared you." Films like this actually manage to stick in the brain for a while. Every time I thought to myself that a two hour run time might be a bit excessive, it kept proving that every moment of my time it was using was vital to the plot. The gore was well done but not excessive, I mean there was quite a bit, it's a Korean film, but if anything this was a tamer amount than some films from that country.

    Just a fun enjoyable creepy experience, nicely done.
