This is not the 21ST Century "The Exorcist" !

Rating: 4/10 (31 August 2018)

Wasn't going to give my review of this movie because a friend recommended it and obviously had a different view of it than I but isn't that what being critical is all about so all I'll say is Toni Collette is a terrific actress and I look forward to her next movie.
I loved the Sixth Sense in which Toni also played a mother of a very disturbed child but that was a great script and truly scary and disturbing.
I'd like to ask Toni Collette the same question I'd have asked Helen Mirren, about her role in the movie Winchester , why did they appear in these movies, and what did they think when they watched the final cut?
The family in this movie makes The Addams Family look normal .The children especially Alex Wolff, who plays Peter gives a good performance but doesn't look as though he belongs ethnically or emotionally to the family. The daughter played by Milly Shapiro looks odd and unattractive from the beginning, perhaps that's intentional but her character doesn't have time to develop.
I like a good scary movie but after over 2 hours I could only think at the end that the script writer and production team couldn't work out a credible ending. If they had of just ended the movie 20 minutes before rather than add a selection of unattractive spooks and paranormal paraphernalia, which was more humorous than spooky I'd have thought more about Hereditary.
