Highly Overrated But Still Good

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

the movie very good imagine approaching the normal peoples to over Fifth- dimensional and show very good reach to 5th dimensional without mind ready how can destroy and collapse minds and normal peoples . indeed this movie very special gift for peoples that didn't know anything about supernatural forces. i believe current human science just less than 5% of universal knowledge

This contains a very good central performance from Shane Johnson, playing Michael King, who gets … you guessed it … possessed! After his idyllic life is shattered with the death of his wife, he and his two young daughters try continue with their lives. Michael decides to make a documentary, using himself as guinea-pig, to prove there is life after death, while his daughters' grieving is ignored. After various experiments involving characters of varyingly dubious quality, it would seem that a demon has gained possession of the rapidly degenerating Michael. Understandably, the daughters leave. Less understandably, despite Michael's frighteningly upsetting behaviour, it is a very long time before anyone comes to see what all the noise is about. By this time, the house is a bloody wreck.This is good, quite unsettling story-telling. Events happen at a brisk pace, and we lurch with Michael, from one horrific incident to the next. Johnson is excellent throughout, and it is just as well - you do get the impression the entire film hangs on his acting at times.During one of the hallucinatory sequences that may be a dream, a very curious thing occurs. Scenes from Richard Driscoll's notorious 2008 film 'The Legend of Harrow Woods/Evil Calls: The Raven' are inserted for no reason whatsoever. Featuring characters and events that have absolutely nothing to do with anything – which could arguably said about their context in their original surroundings – the effect is so jarring (probably because I am so familiar with the Driscoll film) that I suspected a possession on behalf of my DVD player! It is a very strange occurrence, and I would love to know why such scenes are included here – mind you, if it provides funds for a further Driscoll project, then all the better.Director David Jung does a good job with the jump scenes, and the more subtle effects are highly successful (an ant crawling out of an eye at an unexpected moment, etc), but one gets the impression that the price paid for such slick pacing is that once King is possessed, there's nowhere for the story to go other than repeatedly perverse stunts for the unfortunate titular character.

The first 5 minutes into this I nearly turned off but was soon gripped.The story follows a man who sets out to prove the existence or non- existence of the afterlife.It has its fair share of predictable jump scares but they still manage to get you. It's gruesome too at times.It's a simple story but is interesting and creepy. There was a few moments that were frustrating...like poor character decisions, however where would the fun be if he quit while he was ahead?!As I horror movie fan, I would recommend highly. It is somewhat original. The actors are great and it has an awesome soundtrack and effects. Fast moving, gripping, jumpy and I enjoyed it.

Were it not for the virtuoso performance of the lead actor in this picture I doubt I could give this movie more than around a vote of 4.However Shane Johnson gives a brilliant portrayal of a man grieving the death of his wife. The story is about a film maker who is trying to find if there is an after life et al; but the question in my mind is whether he is really going crazy due to his bereavement...The special effects and scary moments in this picture on today's standards are at best average but the picture itself is worth a look for the phenomenal lead actor:6/10
