This movie is not great, the budget, script, acting and presentation are all sorely lacking, yet there are positives to be mined. The beginning and setup to this film startt at 11 with some high-octane demonic shenanigans. This is not the type of trolling demon that stacks chairs and bangs pots and pans, this is the type of entity that goes for souls and jugulars, not necessarily in that order. If the film had maintained its initial momentum throughout, I might have much higher opinions, however, beyond the opening act the script degenerates into nigh parody levels of cliches and tropes. There is a family, and they move into a home that's filled with odds, ends, and supernatural knick-knacks (personal note, I feel a little shafted… At most I’ve moved into homes with pest infestations, not a veritable treasure trove of occult home furnishings). There’s some decent potential in the script, that never unfortunately quite approaches fulfillment. No one informed the cast, who over-act with gusto to the limits of their questionable skills. However, the movie manages to deliver some very decent practical effects and atmospherics on its limited budget, avoiding cheap masking techniques and demonstrating how well done practical effects will always be more effective than gratuitous CG. On the whole, this movie is not worth your attention, but could serve as a good object lesson for the more inspired.
