Wrongly advertised - but great in every other aspect.

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2018)

To make things clear! this is definitely not a movie for everyone, but for the ones who enjoy a dark, psychological, and other-worldly experience - this is a complete masterpiece on that matter.
From the slow building beginning - to the bombing finale, there is a really good pacing that makes the narrative interesting. From the perspective of someone who doesn't care about religion, the characters are so well written that every dialogue and confrontation, is made so intense and gripping that you can't stop watching. When I first heard that people walked out of the theater from watching this movie, I couldn't believe it since the psychological parts are really exciting. Later on i realized that the R-rating and the bloody parts, may be too much for some people who expected a Haunted house kind of horror.
In time where Hollywood has become so vanilla when it comes to horror movies and psychological thrillers, it's so refreshing to see that there are some great directors left, who are not afraid to dial the tone of the violence up to the extreme, and makes it so convincing (even thought it's almost a fairy tale) that you can't be anything but shocked (in a good way). This is NOT a horror movie though... so just disregard the weird advertisements, and watch the movies if you like intense psychological thrillers, that are way deeper structured than most movies today.
