Good, but not best ever.

Rating: 7/10 (24 February 2013)

The majority of reviews that I read claim best horror movie ever...sorry, not even close. Though the acting in this movie is good, the story just doesn't make sense.
Of course, it's an ancient deity from Babylonian times....had one of those things bugging me last week...weak story.
The way the 8mm films were done in this movie was great. 8mm films are creepy anyway, but here, we get a look at the murders actually happening. Though, a lot of it was obvious, it was still a good way to present the murders.
The demon here, is not true to it's ancient roots, whether actual myth or just made up for the movie. As soon as the movie was over I looked up Slipknot online and found a picture that had almost the same exact mask as the one used in this movie...I was severely disappointed in that.
My only real gripe is that the demon is unoriginal. Though it's the premise of most modern horror flicks these days to have some ancient demon start preying on modern America, it's getting old. Give us something to scream about.
Out of 5 scary faces...I'd give this flick a 2. Good movie, but not nearly as scary as people claim.
