The movie would have been so much better if the husband/boyfriend/whatever was exercised early on. He brought the entire cast down the toilet with him. Very difficult to watch to the end.

It's English so we expect some different cultural inclinations to how a mystery unfolds, aka slowly. I think this couple needed couples counseling long before she was possessed. He's a horrible man with anger issues which kind of plays into the whole he doesn't believe her thing early on in the film. Ok so there's that. Also the guy that wrote the book on Shadow People or hat men was a total jerk also. So what is wrong with the men in this movie, sheesh. The movie isn't rushed. It unfolds. We see things happening. There is a conclusion of sorts. I would have been in contact with the previous owners of the house in order to build the suspense. They didn't have that part of the story and they should have. The theme of Church bureaucracy was well played although brief. Perhaps this could have been fleshed out a bit. I mean the film was quite long for this sort of fare, so they could have reassigned some of the time to those elements of the story. It's a dark tale, it's not meant to be all rainbows and unicorns, and I think it succeeds well in telling this sort of tale. Kind of an older school horror which showed restraint in not having split pea soup vomited everywhere and so on like the Exorcist. It's a good movie.

This will fly under the radar of the wider horror audience, but it shouldn't - a strong cast led by the very capable Bethan Waller, who delivers one of the best possessed performances I've seen in a long time. There's an underlying message here about domestic abuse and how affected partners cope with the violence, it perhaps could have been explored more but it's admirably handled in what is after all, a horror film. I definitely got some Amityville Horror vibes from the phtotography and direction, which is a credit to. Leroy Kincaide - I just hope he has more in the works for future features. It won't be to everyone's taste, but this really is worth investing some quality scare time with a loved one and marvel in Ms Waller's portrayal of a demonically possessed woman.

The way the woman is "possessed" is comical at best. Imagine your friend goofing around acting like a possessed person on Halloween. That's about the level of acting we're dealing with here.

If I knew it was going to be another possession film I would have passed I have seen enough of them and there are some great ones especially the classic exorcist of course and the exorcism of Emily rose is another favorite of ours and we also really enjoy the rite with Anthony Hopkins and s couple others but this 1 was extremely weak. The priest was ok but the possessed woman was terrible so that wrecks it right there and we only watched it cause we thought it was going to be a ghost or demon and then they went the way of possession and it was wrecked. Trust us dont bother go watch one of the ones I just recommended. This is a c title at best. Oh and the boyfriend needs to quit acting and get a job at the DMV.

If you're looking for a horror movie, don't even watch this one. Do not waste your time watching it I promise you will be disappointed. The acting is horrible and all they do is talk the entire movie with zero action and zero horror. The ending is absolutely pointless.

Well i wasn't expecting that, i really enjoyed the suspense and the scary jumpy parts of the film, you can see what the director was trying to achieve with the night terror issue's. I personally felt that the sound, lighting and cinematography was well executed. Lucy played the part very well as did father Roberts. I cant wait to see the next instalment from this talented Director.

Somebody here said this was a "chilling masterpiece" and on Rotten Tomatoes it got %100. There's something wrong here because this movie is bad. Acting, direction, script...you name it. BAD. The fix is in.
