Its interesting enough. I'll say that but I wish at least 1 in this group of kids had SOME common sense. I'm 5 episodes in and have no clue what's actually going on. When these kids have warning to be on their guard the most, they put themselves in the most danger. That just doesn't appeal to me if thats how this is the methodology behind keeping it interesting.. 😬

I really wanted to like it. I get that its intended to have a realistic feel as a documentary which I think was accomplished well enough. Some moments, it was a little erratic but understandable. I enjoyed the recognition and explanation of the culture and belief system. However, the characters just were not realistic. Even after it was thoroughly explained why the character was possessed, they mindlessly kept asking why. They took no precautions against the 'possessee'; allowing her to roam free and wreck havoc. I have no clue why they suggested anything about the sibling. That was valuable time, wasted. An opportunity to deepen the storyline, lost. I gave up when the family's ignorance overpowered any good that seemingly the entire village attempted. Its a relentless head scratcher. If good, feasible storylines, plots and somewhat sensible characters are your jam, skip this. Horror is one thing but a poor movie is a poor movie, despite the genre. Great actors though.

Love Julianne Moore. She seems to never age. Clive Owen is very good, as well. I know by 2021, it takes a lot to keep stories fresh and interesting, but I had to give in after episode 5. I have no clue what is going on or what Im even watching. I feel by 5 of 8, most of it should have come together, but Im more lost now than episode 1. Though vibrant and visually beautiful, sadly, it is unwatchable.
