Really quite scary

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 2019)

No high faluting analysis needed here. It's a ghost story pure and simple, with some really well done and scary scenes, especially one in the last twenty minutes. Don't watch if you're easily scared and don't like the dark corner of your bedroom! Gory scene near the beginning which is REALLY scary! Toni Collette is superb and her performance is rather scary too. I don't mean in a cynical way. She's brilliant. Oscar standard. Gabriel Byrne is ok too. The movie is about bereavement, ghosts, and a demon and his worshipers. I think it's the best supernatural movie I've seen in fact.
