A recommendation to horror fans, in my opinion, would lead only to their disappointment. I wouldn't say the acting was bad exactly, perhaps it was the script and direction that caused the lack of atmosphere, and the inability to relate to any of the characters due to their entire lack of personality. It is such a loose story, girl sells soul, demon impregnates girl, girl kills herself.

Girl haunts previous home for a number of years Apparently we don't need to know why.

Poaching, Drugs, and Murder in Costa Rica: Shell Game (Part 1)

We are informed very loosely that the sisters have no family, and a somewhat strained relationship, seems they have no friends either. I will commend the actress who played Vera for her passive aggressive portrayal, even though we are given no reason as to why she is so bitter.

Also what is with the adoptive mother at the end who appears to ignore her child's ability to change channels telepathically; who allows a total stranger into her home to be alone with her daughter, then doesn't even notice when they leave until about 15 minutes later Can I also ask why Vera waited 6 years, then turned up to murder her demon spawn with what looked like a kitchen knife tucked in her pants??? To end, the child looks at her real mother Vera with black eyes, yet Vera chooses instead of death,this demon child should be loved by her so kidnaps her I really don't get how or why this film was made.

I will normally give Horror movies a higher rating than what I should because of two reasons. So with this in mind when a descent horror movie comes out you can imagine my delight. This is a pleasant turn of events in a genre that tends to follow the same route over and over again. It's quite creepy, a few little scares and I really like when horror movies keep the monster just out of view.

It's there but you cannot really focus on what it is. It's not incredibly brilliant but it's a good watch and that's all I really need. This movie needs a coupon where I can reclaim that hour and a half of my life back.. The storyline is really flimsy, and so is the acting. There was no connection at all with the characters, and the dialogs hardly added anything to change that fact. There is a way too long build up to the tension, and when something does happen, it's disappointing.

The ending did nothing to change the vagueness of the overall movie. The best acting came from the red trench coat. The boots were a close second. Even I, who has watched many of bad horror movies in my day, felt the need to warn people to stay clear of this one. Simply one of the most boring horrors I've seen in a while. TuesdayThe17th 22 December This horror film is very well made. It is a new age Gothic story horror that redoes an idea that has been toyed with in many many movies over the years.

This time, though, Director Nick McCarthy decided to really wring out the rag of provocative horror ideas. This movie has a thick storyline, and I really like how the movie opened the way it did. The idea explored here is that a young girl sold her soul to the Devil in order to make some quick cash. She clearly had to be the type of girl who feels that she has very little to live for, because come on, who would actually agree to do such a thing. This girl was portrayed as a poor girl who doesn't seem to have any parents. The Director of this movie also directed "The Pact" which is a little bit similar to this movie.

There is a pact made between two people in both films, and the characters get whipped and flung around by a ghostly entity in both films. I really like McCarthy's style and I advise you all to check this movie out. It's terrifying! Hard to figure out if this is really a horror. First up - the acting, sound, shooting, and editing are brilliant. On that basis it's an award winner.

The story starts with selling one's soul to the devil, and this passes through four characters, all female. So most of the story seems like a metaphor - the illusions of lonely women in a declining society. There's no significant male character - just the shadow of the beast. I thought this was going to go Mulholland Drive, with the artist sister having invented the story to justify her evil deeds.

But it ended straight. Overall really impressed, especially with the expectation of something new in each scene. But it needed an extra level. Horror has to horrify, and a great story has to be meta - very hard to combine them. I rated The Pact, which was a genuine horror but with much lower standards. So I reckon McCarthy will blow my mind next time round. One more thing: I got confused distinguishing the female characters in this movie and in The Pact - is it just me?

But if you are a lover of the more subtle horror genre with a nasty undertone and a sinister, menacing atmosphere created by the use of shadows, moving objects and a constant palpable threat, then this is a must see. Of course there will be grumbling about the lack of depth of the characters and of real scares. Firstly, I think a horror isn't always successful by using irritating artificial frights as in "The Quite Ones" where they used deafening sound effects or by excessive use of gore elements.

To me a horror is brilliant when, even if these elements are applied to the minimum, and it still has a nasty and devilish atmosphere. And you don't need profundity to create that. I suggest you watch a Shakespearean drama when you're into that. You also don't expect scary moments while watching a romcom. In a ramshackle caravan somewhere in the middle of a desert, an eccentric, horrid guy plays a cup game with her and comes to the conclusion that she is "chosen" and she should go to a particular intersection and speak out her name so that "he" will know her when the time is right to call her Years later we meet the real estate agent Leigh Catalina Sandino Moreno who's going to sell an abandoned house which later appears to have been the parental home of Hannah.

Together with her sister Vera Naya Rivera , she is sucked into a demonic game where evil is trying to nest in human society. In this case it's not really voluntary, but it's kind of the same idea. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Account Suspended

The story very slowly unravels a sinister plot while using the principle of "less is more". This paranormal horror, in which a mix of "The Exorcist" and "Rosemary's Baby" is interwoven with a little family drama, makes sure you haven't got a clue where it's leading too. In addition, there are some surprising twists in the story which sufficiently compensates the lack of some decent frights.

There are some extremely strong fragments in it. Like Hannah's bedroom scene, the "Little Red Riding Hood" type of girl who turns a babysitters night into a hysterical experience for the concerned parents, Leigh's confrontation with evil and the ultrasound "The Possession" flashed through my head for a second. Simple and unspectacular portrayed. Subtle and exciting at the same time.

Panama Papers: The Real Scandal Is What's Legal

The two main players Catalina Sandino Moreno and Naya Rivera are two outstanding actresses and beautiful at the same time. For once they aren't like most girls in a horror film, run around screeching and being slaughtered by some demonic power. They are intelligent go-getters who defend themselves. They both have a very different role in this film and divide the whole into two additional episodes. And the little girl Ava Acres who played "the girl" at the end, had such a minimal role but played it in such terrifying way.
