Anton Bitel Little White Lies The setting is (mostly) the Seventies, but this is without doubt a post-9/11 movie, where the devil's work has already been done and all innocence has long since been lost. Mar 2, 2015 Full Review Marija Djurovic Cairo360 There's a sense of repetitiveness that kicks in about halfway through, eventually dragging the film to an unsurprising and unoriginal ending. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 2, 2016 Full Review Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow It actually feels like a "Discovery Channel"-style documentary that just happens to wander into some very supernatural places. Aug 23, 2015 Full Review Anton Bitel ScreenAnarchy a literal answer to the question of what keeps possessing the US to conduct itself the questionable way it does in war, whether Cold or on Terror. Mar 2, 2015 Full Review Matt Donato We Got This Covered The Atticus Institute is a blast from the past, but it's not a very scary one. Rated: 5/10 Jan 24, 2015 Full Review Dustin Putman TheFrightFile.com Admirably constructed, but the derivative script makes it difficult for one to become too enthused by the stock goings-on. Rated: 2/4 Jan 20, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Leslie J Are you kidding with the low reviews??? This was TERRIFYING! I couldn't look at her eyes any longer!!! Where ever they found this woman for this movie, they deserve a medal 🏅!! Very different, engrossing and believable! TERRIFYING!! Decided for yourself! These average viewers think their professional film critics!! ( rolling eyes) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Solomon K Not the worst I've ever seen. Good idea for a horror movie but it could have been done a lot better. As it is, I couldn't recommend it unless you are very bored and cannot find a better horror movie you haven't seen. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 22 minutes of bloody violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review greencrystal7 Good story telling that draws you in. Elegant and real life horror. Under-rated gem. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/23 Full Review david j I personally found this movie great, and have come back to watch it a few times over the years. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review maurizio p nothing new but a well made footage horror. Anyway, I liked the idea of merging demonic possession with paranormal, mk-ultra style, secret government research. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
