Wow, what a snoozer!

I appreciate horror movies, all shades of them. I can do terrifying, to campy, to indie, to foreign...let's just say I love them! This movie, however, is more like a slow burning, lullaby, with some loud noises to help produce some jump scares.

I will say that the beginning with Lucy and the car did surprise me, I was very hopeful after that, but it just kept going down hill.

I think this movie had a lot of potential and the acting wasn't too bad, but they just didn't explore and/or have a nice background or explanation into the D.I.D. and possession crossover (which could have been pretty cool). There wasn't a lot of dialogue, more just following the main girl around as she seemed, for most of it, bored out of her mind (how do you think that made me feel....BORED too).

I don't know if I am being overly picky but the one thing that bothered me is that it JUST so happens that the mother of the dead girl, just HAPPEN to witness as a young girl in India, a similar situation, so could immediately recognize what was going on with the main girl. Not to mention it didn't even really seem to phase her, "oh my dead daughter is possessing your daughter? Cool. Been there, saw it once before, nbd." KAY.

Overall, it wasn't horrible, but it was no where near good. Alright acting and what could have been a potentially great story line, was just boring and forgettable.
