The idea of the film is great. It's complex, intriguing and has great potential to be an amazing one, but it ultimately fails, hard. A particular thing that I think holds thrillers like this is the attention to details the audience must have in order to gain the full understanding of the film, but not here. The longer the it goes, the more you understand the small details don't matter, and while they might add up, you don't derive anything interesting or new from them.
The beginning is very boring and while the tension and pace go up, the film does it too slow, to little. In trying to remedy that perhaps, the last twenty minutes are incredibly violent and horror-like when compared to the rest of the film. But the most awful thing was the camera-work, I don't think it stood still for the entire film, and made me a bit dizzy at times. It had the downsides of found-footage film without even being one.
Overall, the only positive thing that came out of this film is the premise behind it, but everything else, no so much.

This film doesn't wait before jumping into action. Within the first five minutes we are greeted with corpses, gore and the supernatural. Its bluntness was surprising considering the myriad of slow burners which came out of the paranormal investigation sub-genre.
It has its fair share of jump scares and while some viewers might think its excessive, I found them far less tasteless than in most horror films. With an interesting enough plot and a well crafted atmosphere, It used music, sound effects, lighting and camerawork to truly create a film worth watching.

Judging this film on its merits alone and not by being an adaptation is in my opinion the way to go. This is a perfect example for a great film which is a terrible adaptation for its source material (judging by other reviews).
I thought the film was great, and it ticked most of the boxes in what make such movie enjoyable. It had good humor, sufficient action and the obligatory unnecessary romance subplot. It did not fail to entertain me for its entirety and I truly recommend it to both horror/thriller fans as well as comedy fans. Overall it was an interesting, enjoyable spin on movies dealing with the supernatural.
