This is a good movie, but it isn't scary. This is a drama about trauma, loss, mental illness, and how religion preys on the troubled and vulnerable. It's still definitely worth a watch, but bring some caffeine; if you watch it while cozy in the dark, you'll probably doze off a bit.

Jewish folklore is always kinda creepy.

Good yet somehow disappointing. They didn’t show enough of the monster and didn’t develop around the monster enough. It was kind of more like a thriller. Solid piece though and earned 4 skulls
