First of all I have to say that I really wanted to like this movie, it seemed promising and refreshing.
I'll start with the good parts: the first actual scare (which is the one all the promo is based on) is really good, no need for loud noises it is a good and effective scare. Then the first appearance of the "shadow figure with red eyes" is also something that made me go "oh it might actually be good". The idea of the main character going into hell and seeing all these tortures and creatures was also a good idea, good idea not well treated except for that Satan sex scene which was actually a fun and disturbing scene.
Then the bad parts: the opening scene is never talked about again in the movie, it's good to show a cool and creepy scene but you need to do something with it otherwise it has no purpose other than to be there. Another big problem for me is that you don't get attached enough to the main character because you don't know enough about her, they just throw sad facts about her at you in order to make you sad when something bad happens to her but it doesn't work. And finally the biggest problem for me is that they show too much, the hellish creatures were a really good idea but you see them way too clearly and often, every time they did something cool they made it last too long and the scary effect wasn't there anymore (also the ending scene was kind of shitty and predictable).
Overall it was a decent movie, there were some really good ideas but sadly they weren't executed well,still it did have its entertaining moments but it definitely wasn't a masterpiece.
