Dumpster fire of a movie that fails deliver on both horror and suspense. If you're not part of the religious cult known as Christianity, then the closest you'll find to actual possession here is how often you roll your eyes during the movies runtime. I'm the furthest from a religious person and I went into this movie blindly since it was #1 on Netflix. Starting out, it seemed pretty..decent. The acting is top-notch, sure. The relations between the characters are very relatable and I can understand the struggle the family is going through. But then once it reached the climax of the movie, I couldn't retain that suspension of disbelief any longer. If the point of the movie was to make me "accept God" then you failed spectacularly.

The movie is enjoyable from start to finish and every member of the cast is absolutely stunning in their roles. As far as the plot goes, it's a little lackluster. Rather than simply continuing the movie as it is, they chose to throw in one twist after another. And another. And another. It became quite cumbersome to keep track of it all. There's nothing wrong with having a big twist/reveal in a movie but there is some sort of obsession in Hollywood with cramming them into every minute of runtime lately, which is precisely what this movie does.
