Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Jordan Barrett When I first started to watch this movie I wasn't quite sure what to think as it was quite wired to start of with. however half way through the movie i did find my self getting interested in the plot which i taught they built up quite well. I really enjoyed all of the actors performances. This is quite an usual movie with a different plot than maost movies so it takes sometime to understand what is going on but it is still an OK movie.

RedfordJack As they say, "Fiction is better than fact" -- or they should say that if they were honest.For one thing, aside from throwing Dante's fiction away, this movie keeps switching between an evangelical point of view and a Catholic point of view. I don't think even Pentecostal Catholics hold the positions that were represented in this film. For that reason alone, none of these characters are actually real. (But maybe I'm not quite in tune with Evangelical Catholics -- quite possible.) But secondly, there was a set-up at the beginning about a coven. Up to the half-way point of the movie, there was some sort of clan in the woods that seemed to be building on this concept. But this is basically dropped as far as the plot goes, except for an amusement park spot, which moves the plot forward only slightly and not nearly as much as the opening suggests.Thirdly, the movie takes time to set up some interesting theological concerns either about Catholicism itself or Christianity in general. To this end, some decent, if not nuanced, dialog was written. And then, oops, where'd that go? And why have Eisenberg in the field at all? This makes little sense from a monetary perspective. He talks for 20 seconds in the film, maybe? (Correct me someone.) All in all, it promises interesting philosophical insight, but doesn't fulfill. The problem is, it could have: Good cast, good questions, and then... ....what?!?Maybe the director will tell me that I just don't get it, but then it's not my job to get something that is intentionally or unintentionally obscured from me.

mttpsg I think that you can see this movie from 2 points of view: religion and the wish to see a thriller movie.About the thriller movie: it's more like a spiritual horror, as many said. It manages to induce some freak, but not too much.About the religios side, because it is inspired from real facts, I think that the character didn't manage to get the real sense of religion, not even after many years. Why? because he ended the movie by wondering what could be God useful at if he didn't help him to get over his nightmares. one important thing wasn't said in this movie: if you want God to help you, then you have to ask him and pray. And in a real way, not forced by your parents or the priest. Of course your parents and the priest may guide you. We can make choices, but we can choose the good or we can choose the bad. If we choose bad then it's not God's fault that he doesn't do anything. Like Einstein said: dark is the absence of light. I think this is what we should have understood from this movie, but I didn't see that and it's a deception to see that a man who passed through that didn't finally understand the important things. And he even made a movie. deception. it my opinion.

cliftonphotographer Why a 4? Because it will flash back and forth from some normalcy to scary images LOUDLY and that will give you a shock. Albeit so would a cymbal smash from nowhere! To the reviewer that said this was a 90 minute ad for Christians I say. "Wow! You could NOT have watched this movie at all and must be one of those people that attack religion for no reason to make yourself feel important." Really this movie would put more people off religion than on it. The movie is slow paced,kind of interesting,but not scary. Toward the end has a really interesting event happen (don't want to spoil it) but then am the end, the main kid's point of view makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! We never understand exactly why the events are happening and with so many people that are stars in this movie I have to wonder why they were in it. Skip this movie. Oh,and the only thing I waited for in this movie was for that statue to move because it wasn't a statue!! Way too obvious!!
