The dtv equivalent of click bait.

The opening scene promises Giallo style gothic horror as a bumpkin bumps her kin but one we navigate the credits it's Heathers meets Carrie meets Beetlejuice played straight.

There's little or no explanation on offer other than expository diary readings; each member of the cast then meets a grisly end in scenes that are elongated and mostly repetitive while the drama is played out so staccato the effect is soporific.

It's like a record stuck in the same groove playing the same few bars over and over again before someone bumps the needle into another stuck groove. Until someone bumps the needle into another...

Rainbow Harvest is not a good actress and Marina Sargenti is not a good director while both remaining competent at least, most of the supporting cast are good and make the film bearable.

Just like the demon in the film I'm not sure why this exists and why it exists just to show its head and then go back in again. It must be Groundhog Day for demons. And it's more winter on the way.
