Spirit of Fear

The movie was a little slow and the ending was anticlimactic. Although a refreshing take on an otherwise overused horror trope. You kind of want to smack the protagonist with some of the things he does throughout the film.

Walking around your house in your socks instead of having shoes on, while in real life is normal, makes you somewhat uncomfortable in a horror movie. Out of my 2 ratings of watchable and unwatchable, this movie falls squarely in the watchable category. It wasn't the scariest movie, it also wasn't the worst. I couldn't sit through it twice, but I was happy I watched it the first time.

Oh, my. Where do I begin? Let me first start off by saying that I wanted to like this movie. I did not go into watching it in order to be disappointed by it; that was NOT my intention. It was a day off for me and I was excited about the prospects of it. It took place in some house, which I'm good with. It was doing a ranch-house-of-doom sort of thing like "Sinister" and I already had high hopes for it! I liked the first "Sinister" and if this movie had been anything like that, it would have been better. But it wasn't. It was poorly paced, the scares were practically non-existent and there wasn't even any real piece of dialogue until the middle of the film and he was talking to himself! It could have been so much better than it was. The main character spent the entire film looking highly concerned, as if he'd forgotten to do his taxes and it was April 14th. That's it.

The entire movie was a disappointment because all it was about was possession and it wasn't even one of the exciting possession-style films. I SERIOUSLY debated against watching this or watching "The Possession of Deborah Logan" again because it had been a while since I'd seen it; it was helluva film. I know now that I made the WRONG choice.

I feel like I've wasted time that I will never get back. Please, do not see this movie. I just want you to know that if you watched this movie, then walked outside and got hit by bus, THIS WAS LAST MOVIE YOU SAW. Don't do that to yourself. Please.

And the ONLY reason I gave it two stars as opposed to one was because they managed to convince my stupid @$$ to finish watching it. I really thought something, ANYTHING was going to happen! 😬🤣

As Mr Merenghi him self would say, it's more of a slight chill. If you like horror movies that are more on the creepy atmospheric side rather, you will probably enjoy this. To be honest, it's greatest sin is that it's not a computer game. I spent a lot of time thinking I would have enjoyed playing this.

The acting is good, for someone who must try his best to look confused and terrified for over an hour straight, and the plot twist is fairly predictable, but still a lot of fun.

In short, we gain a fun, atmospheric movie that entertains, and lose what would be the next critically acclaimed, forever cult horror game of a generation. I mourn our loss.

Still fun though.

The film is praised for its minimalist approach, relying on atmosphere, sound design, and Christopher Lee Page's performance to build tension. It avoids a lot of dialogue, instead using the protagonist's physical expressions to convey fear and confusion. "Spirit of Fear" has been noted for its ability to create a sense of unease and a claustrophobic feel within the single-house setting.

I can't believe I wasted an hour and a quarter of my life on this rubbish!! It was a recommendation from a friend, and he glorified and praised it a lot, and he gave it 7/10, which made me deceived and agreed to watch it. I do not know what is dazzling about this movie, and he liked it to this degree! I'm really shocked, it's a completely empty movie, its story is cliché, the twisted plot is weak, and it's not worth all this tedium. I'm going to block this person who gave it to me as a recommendation *very angry*

Don't watch this movie Don't watch this movie Don't watch this movie Don't watch this movie.
