7/8ths of a great horror film

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2018)

Sooooooo Close...But sorry, the last 10 minutes ruins the film. There were so many great ideas...and some really scary twists. I loved the way it built slowly, with little crumbs being dropped along the way. And then the ending... just silly. There are so many ways that the ending could have been better. And frankly, a lot of the movies that this one is compared to got it right. This just felt like they ran out of gas, and tried to tie it together with something that will scare Catholics...and just to make it work for everyone else, by adding a ton of weird gore.
Let's face it...if King Paimon is really the badass demon that the legends say he was, he didn't need a goofy group of "satanist" if he wanted to show up and take control.
Oh well... a lot of fun. Collette was great! But, this is no "6th Sense."
