It's movies like this that make me consider whether keeping my Shudder account active is worth it. Even the movie description couldn't accurately portray this movie (spoiler alert, it has NOTHING to do with "black magic", just an "occultist" who provides the most minuscule of aid at the end). This movie is such a waste of time, and has so many nonsensical things occur during its plodding runtime.
interesting film.
Not bad, but just OK. A one-time-watch.
I feel a bit mixed about this. I liked how there was spooky goings on all the way through but it just doesn't gel together into a really good film. Instead it's just decent and I wanted to like it more since I love a good ghost story. It lacks suspence but not good ideas. Could of been better but not bad.
Beautiful movie
