This movie was ok, it was really creepy and had some good jump scares, the plot synopsis got me hooked but the movie ended up feeling ridiculous.

For the most part, it features innovative and frightening scenes that make the film unique, but as the plot progresses it ends up falling into the hole of horror film and found footage clichés.

Joe Lipsett

Horror Queers Podcast

A smart and clever found footage film that uses the tropes of the subgenre to examine mental illness. The presence of a refreshingly low-key queer character and a stunningly vulnerable performance by Jill Larson make this a must-watch.

Horror Queers Podcast

An interesting subversion of standard possession tropes that doesn't forget the emotional plights of its characters.

Rated: 4/5

There is something really unsettling about watching someone, especially an elderly individual, descend into a place that they are clearly never going to come out of.

Cinema Crazed

While half of the film is a genuinely spooky and unnerving possession tale, Adam Robitel falls prey to the tropes of found footage movies.
