This is the first film in a long time with a deep story. It incorporates traditional storylines so that marrying an infidel and the modernization of Jewish culture. This I think is a big plus. Such storylines are rare in this type of movies. Furthermore, there is also emotion at the death of the father after which it becomes clear that the document was signed after all. The thriller-like moments with tension building are also much appreciated. This too is often missed in nowadays horror films. The normal abrupt ending of horror films nowadays was also very much unlike this one. It is often the case that there are still 100 questions left open about certain roles at the end of the film that 99 times out of 100 just ends badly. The endings of all the parts in this movie were clear. The appearance of the demon in this film was below par though. This is also the only flaw I have to note about this film anno 2022. Perhaps a good recommendation would have been to use the dead man in the woman's dream as a further demon appearance as well. I see an opening for part two.
