I usually enjoy found footage/POV type of movies and when I saw trailers for this one I thought I'd give it a go. In hindsight, I wish I had passed because this was actually one of the worst films in that genre that I've seen.
The subject of the film is what got me as I do enjoy the myth of possession, exorcism, God v Devil etc and I thought - from the trailers - this looked a decent wee film. Unfortunately, it didn't hit the mark. Pretty much from the off it was slow, dull and pretty poorly shot. It was just disappointing all round really.
The cast themselves do a decent job however, and they do bring a believability to their roles. The material they work with is the issue. There's too much stop/starting and there isn't really a good flow. It doesn't grab your interest and keep it. For the 1st few minutes it seemed OK but after that I just thought I was in for a slow ride and I was right. There are a few moments where it gets a bit creepy but nothing to write home about.
This was a big miss for me but at least I got that nap I missed out on earlier from the day.
