I'm no film critic. If a film has bad lighting, I normally won't notice something like that so if you're looking for that, you're reading the wrong review. Another thing, I've noticed that a lot of good horror movies get bad reviews. I think it's because everyone's different. The things that scare you may not scare me. My Mom and I have been watching a lot of Netflix movies. We've watched some good movies, some OK movies, and some really BAD movies! It was my turn to choose & I landed on this movie. I saw Gary Oldman's name (someone I recognized) & decided to watch it. I think it had a great story and I think it was original. Sure, it had some typical horror movie effects & ideas. But name me a film that doesn't! It began pretty fast, jumping right into the story. Casey Beldon is your typical teen. She lives with her Dad & has a boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), friends, and goes to school (I assume college). She does babysit for some extra money (a young Atticus Shaffer). She has kind of a sad past which you'll find out about. Things start going bad for her when she starts having these frightening dreams at night & visions of a kid she's never seen before during the day. This takes her several different places to try and find answers to her questions. The acting was good, along with the actors I mentioned, I was pleasantly surprised to see Carla Cugino and Idris Elba too. Oh, you may want to watch holding a drink during this movie because you may end up wearing it. The movie was so good, I was nervous that the ending would be dumb. That's definitely something you shouldn't be nervous about! I didn't see it coming and those are the best kinds of endings, right?

Any movie that features Odette Annaballe in every scene has an automatic plus. The woman is not only gorgeous but cinematic and the two are not always the same thing. Wowsa. That said, the film has a few dozen major breakdowns, not the least of which is attempting to imitate in one way or another far better films, The Ring, The Sixth Sense, The Exorcist, The Omen, and a host of minor films that had essentially the same jump scenes but did them much better. They did try to put together a cohesive movie and gave us the gift of Ms. Annabelle as noted and for that I think it is worth a middling value. You can do better and you can do worse.

In Chicago, Casey Beldon (Odette Yustman) has disturbing dream of a boy, a dog and a baby. She's babysitting Matty when he tells her that Jumby wants to be born now. Her doctor explains that she was a twin and genetic material was transferred to her affect her eyes. After work is done on her eyes, she starts having visions. Her father tells her that her twin brother died in utero and they named him Jumby. Sofi Kozma is a Holocaust survivor and she turns out to be her grandmother with a scary ghost story.There may be a good ghost story here. The dead twin's spirit is a good start. Then Goyer adds in the Holocaust and Jewish mysticism to muddy the waters. The movie becomes undecipherable. The movie is sold with Odette in her underwear. It also has some interesting possession stuff but mostly it's a mess.

The premise of this is good. The production looks expensive. But it's an overloaded mess that feels far longer than 88 mins.The opening sequence has a creepy image of a bulldog wearing a mask. It was just a dream! So we're straight into Freudian dream analysis. The dream sequences come thick and fast, and it's becoming a chick horror. Theoretical physics raises its head, then a Dan Brownish kaballa text, then the ultimate Jewish horror of a dark secret in the Holocaust.At this stage it's really piling up, but the only menace comes from images in the mirror and a creaky house at night. Oh wait - they convert to literal with the random demon now actually killing people.This requires a lot of exposition, and then unbelievably at about 65 mins there are five pages of dialogue explaining the exorcism. Suddenly there are new characters all over the place, while other characters have long been ditched.And an overblown and cheesy final conflict.The lead actress is a babe, but she's not convincing in close up.
