1 is perhaps too harsh, but 10 is unrealistic

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2018)

Having seen headlines such as "A modern day exorcist" and a look into demons passed down from your parents, I was excited to see this movie and fully expecting to enjoy it. And I did at first.
The beginning starts out strong with a look into a quirky family and a rather shocking event I was neither expecting or comfortable with (this is a good thing). The following 40 minutes after this event were tense and uncomfortable and the movie appeared to be going the route of a psychological horror/thriller. Unfortunately around the hour and a half mark, the train started wobbling and by the end had gone full blown off the rails, killing many, and leaving me thoroughly unamused and feeling like I'd been cheated of a real ending.
This is where spoilers come in: stop reading if you intend on seeing the movie.
Shortly after the little girl is decapitated by a power line pole we're shown the grief of the mother and the emotional weight the son carries as a result of the accident. This is quite possibly the best and most uncomfortable part and is littered with meltdowns and what seemed to be mild hallucinations which led me to believe this would be psychological.
However, after this, things going the way of the witch in an head shaking manner (which I suppose in hindsight you could have seen coming from a mile away) with the mother meeting a suspiciously friendly medium who performs a seance for her and tells her she can do the same to talk to Charly. As one would expect things go eye rolling, face palmingly poorly and things start getting.... Paranormal (queue the X-files music).
At this point the movie is losing it's identity and as a result I'm pulling back but I'd sunk an hour and a half in so far and enjoyed what I'd seen so I stuck through it and got the worst movie ending I'd seen this year. Right there next to Don't Breath, but unlike the ridiculous, cheesy ending of Don't Breath, this one didn't have any payoff, was rushed, and just generally silly. Some people said they laughed. I didn't find it funny personally, just a hugely insulting letdown to an otherwise goofy, but good movie.
I guess the little girl was a demon from hell who needed to die so she could take over her brothers body and click another day while witches chant and beg for stuff.
Verdict: Good movie overall but it seemed to lose it's identity partway through and devolved into absurdity, ultimately leading to a poor, rushed ending.
