Wonderful Movie

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I'm surprised to see so much dislike because whilst undeniably flawed in some respects, it told a tight, coherent story without overdoing the screams or special effects and maintained an air of mystery through to the open conclusion. The pacing was unhurried and the production high quality. In terms of flaws, some of the acting wasn't quite there, some of the scenes weren't quite there and the final act was fairly predictable. Another 10-15 minutes building on the backstory would have helped to better establish context. That said, for me at least it kept up the interest.

1.338 people rated this one 5,2/10 on average? Seriously? Such a high rating for this piece of trash has to be changed to warn others off wasting their time on this stinker!!!Nothing happens, nothing gets explained, nothing to think about afterwards except why you have bothered watching.It's not even a horror flick, more likely a supernatural thriller without much supernatural stuff going on and even less thrills.ZZzzZZzz!

I honestly was confused for most part of the movie. And the ending is the worst. I don't get it at all. Who is that guy?? I don't remember seeing him in any other scenes? Worst movie ever. This is the first time I had to resort to google to try understand a movie. I don't know how much those people got paid to give this more than 1 star. I still can't figure out the meaning to the end of the movie; someone explain please.

Currently half of the reviews for this movie (the earlier half) are 8-10 stars, while the other half is very low. The high ratings are all from new accounts who have written no other reviews. Hmmmm. This is a pretty good indication that the high ratings are coming from people involved with the film, which I think is really shady. I would have given this 5/10, but am rating it lower to counter the obvious astroturfing.Anyway, this is an OK indie project that does its best to be eerie/creepy/subtle, and I can appreciate that. No part of this production is Hollywood-grade, but that's not always a bad thing. My main gripe is the rushed ending. It feels like they ran out of time/money and had to wrap it up as quick as possible. There are so many things left open. Not "open to interpretation," but completely ignored. Like parts of the story are missing. Near the end everyone is spouting overly cryptic things at the main character, and he keeps saying, "What are you talking about!?" Then someone says, "Now you know. Now you understand." And he's like, "No actually I don't." This is the moment I really connected with him.Oh, and then right after that exchange, we flash forward an unspecified amount of time, with no explanation of what happened after the cult did its thing, why it was doing the thing in the first place, or how the guy escaped them and got out of the basement. Roll credits. ...ok thanks?
