I'll preface this by saying I think the whole trend of satanic panic style horror movies are played out and boring. It doesn't touch on any fears of mine, so it doesn't do much for me and altogether the satanic panic has ruined many lives and doesn't deserve the resurgence it is getting.
That being said, there was some great fun to be had in this film!
The good: -fantastically fun practial effects and gore scenes.
-actually decent jumps cares. Jumpscares don't do much for me but these were at least fun imo.
-this would make an amazing video game adaptation. Especially in VR.
-some lovely cinematography -great acting by the protagonist
The bad: -the plot was a bit muddy and didnt really wrap up nicely. Didn't feel satisfied at the end.
-some of the baddies were pretty corny/cheesy/edge lordy -again, satanic panic and demons and all that aren't scary to me, personally. Played out n boring. Cults are scarier when they are Christianity adjacent.
Either way I think it's fun enough to be worth a watch if you can stomach some pretty heavy gore.
