Not what I expected

Rating: 3/10 (21 May 2020)

I thought the demons face was scary and the 8MM deaths were creepy but felt the backstory was sophomoric as well as some of the "scares." I'm a big fan of Ethan Hawk and usually like what he does but I felt his character was vapid and didn't really give a performance I'm accustomed to seeing.
The older cop did a good job but the younger cop didn't seem like a cop, rather an actor playing a cop but forgot to act cop-like of that makes any sense.
My biggest problem with this film was it was very dark as in no one in the movie ever thought to turn on the lights, even when most people would.
The demon could have been used in a better way rather than give him a typical background story and make these kids do all the dirty work which all of them looking from all the other typical scary kids from so many other Hollywood horror films- nothing unique here.
