The Offering (2022)
6/10
small horror

Warning: Spoilers
An elderly Hasidic man battles a demon, the taker of children. He kills himself and traps the demon in his amulet. Arthur (Nick Blood) brings his pregnant wife Claire (Emily Wiseman) home to reconcile with his estranged religious father Saul (Allan Corduner) who operates a Jewish funeral home. The dead Hasidic man's body is brought in. Arthur accidentally breaks the amulet and releases the demon.

It's a small horror. It's a bit slow. The scares are not that many although I really like a few of them. I really like the camera bit with Claire. The monster designs are pretty good. I do like the religious aspect. I don't like Arthur although I'm not suppose to. At the end of the day, the movie lacks scale or daring. It stays small and not that shocking.
