Why Is This Even Liked? A Complete And Total Waste Of Time.

Rating: 1/10 (19 March 2019)

I honestly don't know where to start. I decided to watch this film based on its reviews, but either everyone who gave this title anything above 4 stars watched a different film or the world is going mad.
Besides the utter lack of an actual plot, interesting or even likable characters, a music score, decent not over-the-top acting, its biggest flaw is the unforgiving slow and motionless pacing, I can't even begin to describe how boring this film is, honestly you'd be more entertained by watching dough rise.
So, let's begin shall we?
This film pretends to be a "horror", "drama", "mystery". Honestly I'd even add: "Comedy" in there because it is downright laughable, they start of presenting a history of mental illness about the family, which not so subtly foreshadows how the rational member of the family is going to say the (at this point) clichè line "your're sick, you need help".
Then we're introduced to a weird kid who dies less than 10 minutes after, but the way in which she dies is just hilarious, seriously, she had her head outside of a car and hits a pole and gets beheaded, not only was it extremely unrealistic but it was downright comedic, it's something you'd expect to find in Shawn Of The Dead or another Horrordy.
After that you'll get 15 minutes of pure nonsense with hysterical screaming, which is supposed to be the girl's mother crying, but due to the circumstances it just feels funny, so over the top, so melodramatic for the sake of being melodramatic, the plot just hits a screeching halt, the only good scene in this film is when the family is sitting at the dinner table and the mother.
Then we're introduced to a new character and from this point forward it's pretty much the same plot of the second "Annabelle" film (and we all know that's another pile of rubbish):
New Character introduces grieving family members to the occult
One family members believes in the occult the other are skeptics
Family member who believes in the occult still goes through the ritual without actually knowing what they are doing
Family summons demon instead of loved one.
Sounds familiar?
And this is when the film gets to its climax, I mean, these are some of the most hilarious scenes you'll ever see in a "Horror" movie, before finally reaching the end of this atrocity.
If you want a dramatic horror movie, go watch The Babadook, if you want a monster horror movie, go watch The Ritual, if you want a supernatural horror film, hell maybe even watch Oculus,
This film is downright boring, a complete waste of time.
