Altho the movie has better effects than some it ends up being a sort of illogical mess.

Base 5:

-2 Poor Story / Writing

-1 Unoriginal

+1 A couple of funny moments but illogically timed.

Decent watch at best, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend unless it is for a Bad Movie Night.

I was so happy it wasn't the movie where they play flashlight in a graveyard and invite a ghost to play, but that momentum quickly faded.

It's like "As Above, So Below" and "Pitch Black" had a rather boring baby movie.

Don't get me wrong, the premise is good: girl is linked to a demon that hides in the dark, but can physically hunt down and rip people apart. Plenty of potential to hold up to either of the parents, and thank goodness they didn't do this as found footage.

With the merry band of idiots, I don't think I liked any of them as characters, to throw as fodder to a demon I was expecting to be excited about it getting them, but I just didn't care at all.

The effect work was amazingly good compared to the rest of the movie, so they definitely prioritized what they thought would be their pivotal moments on the spread sheet at least.

Honestly, go watch "As Above, So Below" and then "Pitch Black", then the rest of the "Riddick" series, then you can come back and watch this.

Is it scary? No. The acting while the characters are are shallow, is still decent. The movie LOOKS very nice, I'm always a fan of "trapped" somewhere movies so it's got that going for it. The plot is as generic as it gets. I'd rather they'd just somehow been trapped inside (maybe like House on Haunted Hill) without ghosts. Or maybe even just toss in a psycho security guard...as cliche as that is as well, it would've been better.

If you just can't find anything else to watch, and just want something to kill time, you could do MUCH worse.

It's A+ looking with a C- script/concept.
