Keena A 08/21/2024 I like it although it was dark & more different than anything I ever seen. See more Wouldnt you L @RT96497570 1d Zak Bagans documentary was better. See more Damion L. @CloudedPurpl 4d I mean it was okay. It definitely was suspenseful for the whole movie with some real world family dynamics. But it felt less of a horror for most of the movie and more like a drama, and then when it finally got into the horror it wasn’t terrible but it definitely was a little silly it felt like. I couldn’t take some parts super serious. See more Rodney E @BeachCrazy Dec 27 The main character is more caricature than a mother. See more Peter F @RT28007450 Dec 7 A fantastic (and tough) drama, wrapped into an unspectacular-silly demonic possession story. But the drama is well worth it: top notch acting (Andra Day deserves the next 3 oscars for this, Glenn Close also sublime, but almost everyone is outstanding here), some of the best dialogue in years; great screenplay, great camerawork, elite directing. So much of it so well done. But be warned, it IS tough - not because of the demon. It's because of the realistic, inescapable, creeping hopelessness. (Which is of course metaphorically represented by the demon.) See more Vince Q. @Vincedeq Oct 31 A horror film about a divorcée and her three children fighting evil spirits in a run-down apartment somewhere in Pennsylvannia. Stars the late Omar Epps, Glenn Close, Mo'nique, and Andra Day. Director Lee Daniels guides us through three acts of a cool premise and finally, a contemporary dialogue paints this genre film with an organic quality missing from most horror offerings. The film gets snagged in overwrought exposition when it should have stayed with its gut instinct - more like the original genre classics Rosemary's Baby or the Exorcist. Glenn Close adds an extra dimension to every performance around her character in this film as the the mother/ possessed demon. Definitely worth the watch. See more Read all reviews
