Eh. Uninspired

Rating: 4/10 (26 August 2013)

What to say? This movie did nothing at all for me, especially in the scares department. However, in all fairness, I must offer a disclaimer.
I am not religious. In fact, I am an atheist. If the protagonists' deep religiosity wasn't so much a part of the plot, I might have been able to enjoy the movie more than I did, though I still wouldn't have found it to be ground-breaking in the horror genre. Remove the pious Catholicism, and maybe I would have given the movie a rating of 5/10.
There is nothing in this movie I haven't seen before, and done much more effectively. Yes, The Exorcist also had a religious undertone, but the tension and visuals of that movie were head and shoulders above those elements of this movie.
Really. "Three knocks is an insult to the Holy Trinity." Give me a break.
