I like what the horror genre tells us about mental illness. It doesn't matter whether it is a demon from hell or a demon of the mind. Either way the individual suffers and the family suffers.
What could have been a great film was marred by infuriating plot holes, inconsistent characterization and motivations, an overwrought soundtrack, and an anticlimactic ending. Despite the broader issues I have with this film, I thought the acting was excellent.
This is badly written, badly acted, and laughably unscary. I wanted to like this movie, but it's just not worth it.
You can barely pay attention and you will still know whats going on. Not much
This movie was pretty good, however it was a remake of an old Twilight Zone episode called "The Howling Man", retooled for modern sensibilities. I only gave it 3 stars because I believe the Twilight Zone episode was better. Fun fact: in the original they couldn't use crosses to keep the Devil in because they didn't want to offend the studio heads, so they used shepherd staffs instead.
