An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Another yawner about a demon who leeches itself to children and leaves the affected family looking for its "pound of flesh," so to speak.Cameron is left in charge of his niece, Angie, while his mom goes visiting. They live in a house with their grandparents, both afflicted in some way or the other. Even though Cam's mother forbids him to take Angie to see her real mother, an ex druggie, where's the first place they go once mom is out of sight? You guess it. During the visit, there seems to be a horrible argument going on next door so Cam (naturally) investigates. Angie follows. Angie is then overcome by a LOT of second-hand smoke and has a proclivity for big eyeballs. Cameron then finds out Angie has become possessed by "the devil's whore, a/k/a Lillith." In order to save her, he must kill six people in seven days and offer them as sacrifices.Another amateur-night-at-the-Bijou attempt at horror that was so confusing it was hard for me to keep everything straight. In fact, I don't think I did. The script was absolutely absurd because in one part of the movie you have the girlfriend who suddenly is upset about morals...while all along she's been trying to help Cam kill people. Go figure.The movie is unrated and has some minimal violence, faux lovemaking, and language.

---This review contains spoilers !!! --There is not a single minute when this movie can be taken seriously. Poor acting from the little girl, never even scary, completely pointless storyline, with the unexplainable appearance of a nun, who is - God knows why - can just disappear at will. Ghetto hip-hop music at the credits would kill any vibes if there was any. But there is none.The film is consistently bad and boring and I really want to become a Hollywood director, 'cos I can put a film like this together every day before lunch. And I am not talented.Shame it could pass through prescreening and was not revoked before going public.It feels really bad that I watched it on Netflix (Don't they watch what they sell?) so I even paid for this 88 minutes. Save your money and time.

How can I put this? You know how when you go to the dentist to have root canal work done and the dentist tells you that you may experience some 'discomfort' afterward and what he really means is that you'll be in agony once the anaesthesia wears off and you'll just want to lie down in a dark room and pray for death rather than live through one more second of the pain shredding its way through your nervous system? Yeah. This movie. This movie right here is like having root canal work carried out on your soul. Forget it. Don't watch it, don't look at it, don't even bother reading the rest of this review. For real. You will find no redeeming qualities in this movie. Okay, so maybe the main guy was OK acting wise. I do have one question for the movie producers...what was with the end credits soundtrack choice? Really? You're gonna hit us with some trap rap hip hop tune that was in no way related to anything that happened in the movie and really really really didn't go with the atmosphere (or lack of) that you tried (and failed) to aim for? Nope. I'm out. NEXT!

I have no idea why this managed to score a 7.1 out of 10. How very misleading.The acting is terrible. The story is driven forward mercilessly by a plot that has about as much flexibility as rigamortis. What a waste of 88 minutes.If you love your eyeballs, don't bother watching this movie. Seriously they ought to start fining Hollywood producers/directors/writers who think it's OK to come out with something as poorly put together as this.I hope this review helped.
