Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2014)

The film genre is horror and it is a typical horror film since it concludes a lot of blood, pop-up scenes, and lots of profanity. The storyline is that David and three of his friends including his girlfriend try to help his sister, Mia who has a heroin usage problem. They decided that they would meet up at a cabin in the woods to help Mia focus on fixing herself. What they do not know is that at that cabin there was a demonically ritual that had happen and as Erin, one of the friends reads a spell part out of the 'book' he then resummons the demon thus causing chaos.
The editing was fairly inappropriate to people who do not normally watch horror movies, it was far too bloody for people to see. However, it was appropriate in a sense they made it realistic. The film was mostly shot at eye level and had multiple close-ups to show key factors that contributed to the film. The film did not have editing techniques such as: dissolve, wipe, or fade. Since they did a lot of zooming in and out it led to close-ups and long shots.
The sound was effective because it matched the scenes that were going on. For example, when David and Mia reunite at last, the sound of the background music was touching and heart-felling. In addition, there were scenes of suspense and the background music contributed by helping the audience get a sense or foreshadow that something was going to happen. A good scene that shows that the sound was effective was when there were creeks inside the cabin showing how old the cabin really is.
The movie demonstrated a majority of cinematography skills. For instance in the scene when they discovered the 'book,' the camera was tracking Mia's movements around everyone and the table but the main focus being the book. That scene shared a majority of close-ups and had all the camera angles and showed suspense and mystery to the scene. To make the scene feel that way, they had played background music that helped set the scene and mood to be that way.
The social context of the film was well written because as Mia's heroin started to wear off, she started to overreact about everything as a normal drug addict would be without their drug. To add on, when that was going on, their friend Erin, started to read the book and unleashing a demon out into Mia's body. She starts to change slowly in a negative way acting crazy and since everyone thinks she's reacting that way because she has been clean off her drugs for a certain amount of time, they do not know what's going on with her. The fact that she is becoming possessed and people do not realize because they think it is because she is off heroine goes hand in hand.
The meaning of this film ..
Some personal influence's or bias that I have that would have affected the film is that I have seen so many scary movies that this one does not compare to them.
I would have to agree the film was enjoyable because it had its moments of heartfelt and gruesome at the same time.
I do recommend this movie to people who enjoy gruesome and bloody horrors. However, I would not to people who does not enjoy a good scare.
