If someone makes a movie called "Debbie Does Demons," you have to wonder who the movie is actually for. You would attract people that would enjoy watching silly shlock.
However, this movie was done by a few morbidly obese friends who don't know anything about making a film, including editing, how to set up a shot, or even how to focus. You have characters talking off screen, people constantly flubbing their lines, and clunky explanations instead of any exposition. It's just painful to watch.
There is nothing of value here. The main actress gets topless right away and after that there's nothing else to see. (In fact, it's on the disc so you can just toss it into the trash after opening the case up. ) She makes out with a monster prop for a few minutes but there's no effort to make it look like anything other than a toy she just picks up. There's no humor, action, or real story other than "a witch is trying to kill me, here are some scenes."
Watch Birdemic instead.

I just had a WTF look on my face the entire time. Each character is functionally and idiot and annoying, which I guess was supposed to pass for funny. I hope everyone was high when making this. There's nothing clever or funny, and the twist is pretty stupid.
This could have been a good 90 minute movie, but the show is 95% one person talking for 30 minutes while everyone else stares, 4% scenes with nothing happening, and 1% everything else.
The intrigue ends after episode 3, where we entered a tired trope and everything else becomes predictable. It's like realizing it's Snow White halfway through but there's 20 more hours of dwarves singing.
There are surface levels critique of religion you've heard a million times before, and some half-assed attempts at redemption. The antagonist is the preacher woman you've met before.
If Mike Flanagan wrote a scene of someone jumping off a bridge, this scene would last 45 minutes. Of just falling.
This could have been a great Stephen King story, with a LOT of editing and perhaps an actual protagonist, there are some nice scenes but they just DRAAAAGGG.
Christians will probably not being able to sit through this, it's very disrespectful. I don't think Flanagan realizes that he has a Muslim character suffering through the stereotyping of his religion, while at the same time doing the exact same thing to Christianity. News flash: not every christian is a pious psychopath.
