The first 10 minutes and the last 20 minutes are mostly scary. In between are some jump scares, along with telling a story. The story is about a demon stalking various people and creating havoc. There is the context of Hasidic culture and spine tingling scary mythology. I thought much of the story contained too much filler, and could have been cut quite a bit. The acting of the main characters played by Nick Blood and Emily Wiseman was fair, but not fantastic. CGI could have been more clear, but it was ok. Overall atmosphere in the film was adequate and added to the scariness. I think many people will be appropriately frightened.
