    Scientology level hokey propaganda.

    With Hallowe'en in mind, thought this could be fun to watch. But after the first couple of curses it got too repetitive and predictable. CGI up to par with 1980s TV shows. Who would you pick as the worst demon: atheists, or gold digging women? I won't spoil it by giving the answer here. While arguably well intentioned, this is the kind of thing that can give organized religions a bad name.

    It was a bonus seeing the superhero with the gold lightning bolt on her chest, right after a trailer for the reboot of Shazam!

    Recommended only when combined with a critical thinking discussion group to follow. Some homework going in could help too.
