Of the Devil (2022)
8/10
More decent than most reviews will tell you
4 February 2024
This feels more like a modern Central American horror film than a North American possession film. Think "Terrified" in terms of storytelling, cinematography and monster design. Some of the lighting feels amateurish, particularly in outdoor scenes, but otherwise a decent watch. It has more of the scares typical of something like Hellhouse LLC. And while it doesn't succeed as well as that series does in terms of the horror lurking behind or near a character moving closer and closer. It still hits and it the severity of its' hits outweigh its' misses.

One major complaint that bothered me in the movie was (without spoilers) the detective. Whoever hired that guy needs to get both their own and his head examined.
