Being an avid thriller/chiller/horror fan especially of the supernatural kind its very hard to find a movie that rattles you.
I clicked on this half heartedly but immediately was gripped.
Everything you want - from dark rooms with those who deal in dark magic, vulnerable victims. to unlikely helpers with a twist to them - loaded pauses and screen flashes of information that leave you feeling chaotic, displaced and more than nervous ...
The acting was exceptional for all characters involved, with only a few cheesy scenes that let this good acting down i.e.. When Alyia swishes a knife from behind a flimsy gold curtain,
As the movie goes on it works its magic on you - you buy into the sheer panic, chaos and fear of those involved, never really knowing which way things are going to fall and so the suspense builds slowly but deadly.
The make up is actually not at all bad, the special affects ever so slightly rough round the edges reminding you of Blair Witch, but the greatness of this overall movie absorbs its weaker points.
I would definitely recommend this movie to horror or thriller or supernatural fans .... and I wont ever be using the word 'Damn' again ... you know .... just in case !!!!!
