3/10
Poorly Edited, Somewhat Cheesy, Slightly Underrated, Abrupt Ending
4 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
When the picture falls off the nightstand in Gail's room on the first night, you can clearly see a stagehand's arm in the lower right corner of the screen.

When the covers are pulled of Gail, her shirt goes from a pale pink to a white floral short-sleeved Henley with no explanation.

There is no way that the house is "100 years old." The floor plan, building materials and the fact that the house has a garage are all indicative of the 60s or 70s.

Why would the demon/devil manifest in the television? Especially when Gail is asleep and oblivious to its presence?

If the writers had studied possession lore, they would know that only very devout, practicing Christians (usually Catholics) become possessed. In truth, possession is not real, does not happen, and can simply be attributed to cases of dementia and/or mental illness (particularly schizophrenia and religious delusions).

Stigmata on a possessed person? Are you kidding me?!

So, I guess all women sleep in white pajamas with blue flowers? Both Gail and her sister do.

Boobs, three sets of them. A decent, yet interrupted, sex scene.

Motrin IB product placement.

How exactly did Gail lie down and wrap herself up in her coverlet in half a second then levitate?

Word to the wise: ALWAYS leave an impaled object in until you reach the emergency room or receive other qualified medical attention. The object may be the only thing preventing you from bleeding to death.

There are some scary moments, but they are mostly cheap, predictable scares using quick flashes of action and/or creepy/loud noises.

The blind priest needs to have a few more lessons on how to act more convincingly blind. The way he felt his way around the bed was very "sighted" in its execution.

The wall-walking scene was pretty neat, I have to admit. I loved the priest-on-priest murder scene, too. That was unexpected. It kept getting better and better toward the end with chaos, murder, and mayhem and I was loving it!

Then, it ended. Roll credits. Lame.
