I can't help but feel that Monique was offered this role because she's working her way back to being on screen after making up with Lee Daniels, almost like she has to work her way back up.
This film had potential, I was reeled in by the reading when she made contact, but then it went left, which wasn't a bad thing, they just executed the "Twist" poorly. The acting from the majority of the cast was kind of cringe, but it works if they were trying to follow the blueprint of campy old school horor films.
There big reveal was predictable, and there were too many loopholes. Why didn't the family make contact again and try to help them supernaturally? Why did they put on extra layers like that was going to defend them from a stab wound? Why did they hype up the fact that they fought girls in the hood only for them to not put up a real fight?
There were so many directions that this film could have went in if only they developed more of plot details that fell flat.
