    Well, for me this is just another mediocre possession flick. It does have some pacing issues but I would be lying if I said I did not find thins genuinely creepy at times. It is a movie that starts off stronger than it finishes. With a running time of under an hour and a half it does come close to outstaying its welcome.

    The found footage aspect is annoying at times. What is obviously an attempt to bring the viewer closer into what is taking place ends up being more of a distraction than anything else.

    The premise is interesting at the start but they throw in a few twists that to me don't completely make sense and seem to be in there just so the writers can get a cheap "got ya!".

    There is more blood here than most possession flicks and the performances are actually quite good but the overall tone of the film does not set the mood properly. Even though the run time is so short it definitely feels longer. I'm not disappointed because I did not expect much but then again I am still looking for a possession movie to come along that will actually be good.

    5/10 - Not horrible, not good. Somewhere between the two. Even at the paltry what is listed as 83 minutes, use your time on something else.
