It Begins

Rating: 5/10 (12 December 2013)

Oren Peli directed this surprise hit revolving around the home surveillance footage found of recent homeowners Katie & Micah(played by Katie Featherston & Micah Sloat) who encounter increasing demonic activity that is centered around Katie for some reason, though something similar did happen to her and her sister when they were children. Micah tries to help, but everything he does makes matters worse, leading to a most tragic end... Some effective scares here, and eerie scenes, but undermined by the "idiot plot syndrome" personified in Micah, whose arrogant ineptitude is astonishing! First of several films in a growing franchise.
