Memorable, crazy movie

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I just watched this movie with my wife and we enjoyed it. my wife says it's a bit too scary for her. :) Loved the setting of India. It creates a more mysterious story due to the place being foreign. The special effects were great and the movie kept me interested start to finish. So creepy when oliver took over lucy's body and stabbed the father. This horror film deserves no less than a 7 rating in my opinion, so to counter so much unfair criticism I decided to give this an 8!

I enjoyed this movie a great deal, though I will be the first to admit there are plot holes and inconsistencies. The movie did not always follow their own rules in regards to how spirits act, and it was frustrating at one point towards the end of the movie. However, I enjoyed the story element of the movie, and enjoyed that there was a general vibe of sadness and creepiness, and not as many jump scare moments. Personally I prefer that type of experience from a horror movie, and was happy to have watched this movie.

After the death of their son, a couple living in Mumbai trying to cope learn a mystical way of bringing them back to communicate with them again only to find that something sinister is following them home and must find a way of stopping the spirits' influence on them.This one wasn't that bad if an altogether decent supernatural affair. One of the few great parts about this one is the fact that it manages to get the conditions and practices of the ceremony into the story rather nicely. The way it details the instructions specifically, from the manner of how to get there and what to do when they arrive and in what precise order it must be carried out in order to work properly, these are all handled quite well and gives this the kind of set-up which brings the scenes in the temple itself their inherent creepiness. By going through the motions of retrieving the ashes, arriving and preparing the candles and the layout of the ceremonial trinkets that are prepared for the start of the ritual inside which is quite creepy and works due to these early set-ups as well as the details of the temple itself. Once it comes back to the rather impressive supernatural details later on, this one is even better with the series of rather chilling events showing the demonic spirit tormenting her and her family out in the slums of the city or the series of rather tense confrontations in their home which are rather fun and chilling from the accidental death in their backyard or the battle in the kitchen with the possessed individual. With so many of these scenes featuring the rather creepy and chilling looking designs of the spirits taken directly from Hindu folklore for their appearance, this makes for a much more shocking look that really helps this one, this one manages to really get some impressive elements here although it does have it's fair share of sizable flaws. The main one here is the fact that so much of what happens here doesn't have the slightest bit of interest here as it's just not that chilling or scary to go through the rather bland scenes of their marital problems or her physical condition which manifests itself following her return. There's way too much melodrama in this part which doesn't come off in the slightest bit interesting following the stellar opening half with the accident and the ceremony, so that dip really appears obvious with some really troubling and bland scenes that feature the wholly expected jump scares of shrieking ashen-faced specters only she can see that are just so expected and clichéd that they're not even that worthy of generating the jump. That becomes a recurring theme here where it tends to rely on this clichéd look and topic for the vast majority of it's scares and it really becomes old after awhile not only seeing the same type of scares but going through the motions again. Likewise, the other big problem area here is the fact that the ending is somewhat abrupt and just seems to end really without warning, stopping and just rolling credits which somewhat neuters the effects just shown beforehand. Otherwise, this one wasn't all too terrible overall.Rated R: Violence, Language, children-in-jeopardy and implied animal violence.

Being bored can have it's advantages, it might frustrate you of course but it can also inspire you to do things that aren't boring instead.Personally I enjoy watching a good movie (something this is not), listening to some good music, going for walks or bike-rides, seeing new things and old things that are worth seeing more than once, playing chess etc etc.I'm just rambling on here as you can see but that's because as far as this movie goes there is very little to be said.If you like horrors to be familiar, meaning have all the clichés that's humanly possible packed into one movie or if you've never seen a horror ever in your life then I suppose this is watchable.The acting is uninspired and the scares are poorly executed and the pace is painfully slow.And the last scene is one of the dumbest I've seen in recent years, almost enough to lower the rating to a 2 but I'll be nice, they at least kind of sort of tried albeit not much.
