Overhyped for Pretentiousness

Rating: 4/10 (24 June 2019)

If you just look at the story it's just a story. Some people are trying to help their favorite demon to ressurect into a useable host and in the end they succeed.
That's it. It's actually a really simple given and it's just fine for 'horror'. And of course there's a million ways to go about telling it.
Now how would you go about tricking people into thinking your movie is really 'highbrow' and 'special'?
Just make your movie needlessly long with lots of boring long-ass shots and above all needlessly 'mysterious', by giving out the information in an almost ungraspable way, so you just have to watch it 3 times or go read on internet before you can understand this basicly pretty simple story. That's how.
Thats really all that makes this movie seem so genious to some: they make a puzzle out of it. But if you strip the story down to it's bare bones (after you finally got it of course), there is absolutely nothing so special about it. It's just a pretty average, standard story, only told like a complicated puzzle. That's all.
There's more movies like this that get overhyped by some for this very same reason. Well, not for me. I really don't think this movie is so brilliant. Or scary.
Now I cannot at all say this movie is bad. Because it really isn't. Hence my rating of 4 stars. It's just long and boring.
