I thought this would be a cool mix of The Autopsy of Jane Doe and The Vigil, but this movie completely missed the marked. This wasn't even half as good as either of those films.
Let's start with the pros:
Good lead actors.
Some parts of the soundtrack were creepy and unnerving.
Now the cons:
Every cliche scare you could think of, from someone getting dragged off somewhere, to something nonterrifying suddenly appearing with a loud sound effect is in attendance.
This film seemed to have little driving force, no character development or any plot whatsoever. If you asked me what the plot was I couldn't tell you without effort.
MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD.
You would think that the plot is going to revolve around the main character's relationship with his father, who is easily the most likeable character in the film. That is quickly thrown out the window.
The plot itself seems to jump out the window as well about half way through.
I can't even tell you the main characters name and I just finished watching this film not even twenty minutes ago. There was nothing likeable or noteworthy about him.
The demon is shown about half way through the film and you never stop seeing it once you do. The monster is 2007 CGI from Beowulf and it lost all impact after the first time it was seen.
This film wasn't remotely scary. The ending was clear about half way through, and what a terrible ending it was. Watch The Autopsy of Jane Doe or The Vigil instead if you want a film that actually knows what makes a movie terrifying or the least bit interesting.
Great work from the cast though. These few stars belong to you.
