Why are we afraid of an honorable death?.. Not funny, little girl.

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2018)

The girl. Start with the girl, shall we?..
We do not have to worry over the girl as to why people 'd place her in this kind of a movie or, why people 'd get scared more than they should during a given movie just because this girl plays in the movie. People could feel entrapped listening to the sound of nature, or brighten up watching a documentary on war, or dream for better in front of a Tv channel that broadcasts Somalian hunger... or feel devastated right after feeding a poor monkey.
That is absurd... not to judge. But hey, people cannot behave in conformity with the prospect of generalisation. This is why any rule must be of an authority that is higher than that of a single person or a petite community... namely God.
So, the deed of casting this girl (oh, should we praise the girl, for the fact that she looks different, by saying "this angel", or "this beautiful girl?") may not have anything to do with the fearsomeness of the script and the movie; only God knows.
The script is so down to earth, and dramatic for a horror movie. And the director executes it rather well, only with the contribution of the actors in from of a brilliant acting.
Especially the way Ms. Toni Collette performs makes it hard to believe that this is a horror movie at all!
What's more is that Mr. Alex Wolff devotes himself to the task. On top of all, the long-take scenes render the movie to be of the artistic venture. We wait, we see, and we experience.
By the way, where is "the technique" of jump scare to be seen throughout the movie?.. This is good.
The happenings in the movie seem near-natural than magical. The bird, the car accident, the allergical fit, the sleepwalking, the worship at the end... All but the scenes of possessed Annie. Also, the music with no unsettling tunes and timing is not abrupt but different. All these do refresh the movie.
Maybe this is not a horror movie, under newly-thought-upon considerations, that it has strong drama, powerful acting, a dark but real-like script. We may call this genre... horama?..
Oh, we are not experts.
