This is conspiracy theory BS and should be labeled as such. Or pseudo documentaries at best. Fact check some of Greer's claims and you'll find the truth about his lies and mischaracterizations.
I was so disappointed after watching the credits role and realizing that the great Sam Raimi was one of the producers. Then again, it's PG13, so maybe I'm just too old and have seen too many of these below average holy-horror movies that the tired clichés are meant to not be so tired and so cliched for the middle school crowd.
The moderately above average Jeffrey Dean Morgan does a decent enough job keeping the wheels on the bus at the beginning and is believable enough as an alcoholic down on his luck reporter, but once the movie gets going the humor they likely injected into his character as an afterthought, feels out of place.
Cricket Brown is actually a bright spot, but you can tell that she's learned her chops on stage in theater because some of her performance is a bit over the top as a rural town girl from nowhere Massachusetts. She probably has some future in screen acting, but her facial expressions would likely shine on stage.
As usual Cary Elwes needs to decide before filming which weird American accent he's going for and stick to it. Maybe I should just get used to it and pretend that he's from a region of the country that I've never been to that's full of Americans who sound like they're very lightly making fun of Brits, but I just can't.
Poor Katie Aselton half the time looks like she's genuinely typical nice, sweet Katie Aselton, and the other half looks like she's realized what an awful movie she's agreed to be in.
Diogo Mordato and William Sadler are probably the best two actors in this film, but they're limited in screen time. The extras in this are AWFUL. I'm sorry to these folks, because they're likely locals or something, but oh man, they do not help this movie out at all. I definitely blame the director for this, but whoa they're bad. Some of them straight up are overacting like they think they might be discovered in this crap heap.
The first half of the movie, while still lazy and disappointing, doesn't prepare you for how quickly the second half becomes a trash pile of jump scares, unimaginative dialogue, and stupid horror tropes.
If you're over the age of 20 and have seen your fair share of horror movies, do yourself a favor and avoid this. If you're 15 give or take, and are trying to take someone out on a date and want them to clutch your arm at every jump scare or want to clutch their arm at every jump scare, and realllllly don't care about anything other than that...meh...go ahead and watch it. Just try not to pay too much for it.

Worth a look if you can't find anything else to watch, like a straight forward thriller, and can overlook very clear character flaws.
