The Graham family starts to unravel following the death of their reclusive grandmother. Even after she's gone, the matriarch still casts a dark shadow over the family, especially her loner teenage granddaughter, Charlie, whom she always had an unusual fascination with. As an overwhelming terror takes over their household, their peaceful existence is ripped apart, forcing their mother to explore a darker realm in order to escape the unfortunate fate they've inherited.

A bunch of jarring cliche horror sequences mixed with cliche pretentious arthouse beats and nods to far superior films - all strung together into this messy, nonsensical narrative that basically feels as though the writer/director made it all up on the spot as he went along. It's not as clever or original as it thinks it is (...hence the terrible public score at odds with the critics' rating).

“The scariest horror film of the decade” is surpassed by 90% of the horror genre on Netflix/Stan/Foxtel. This was not scary AT ALL. It took me 3 goes to actually get through the whole movie because it was so slow and boring. The ending is terrible and a completely out of place given the tone of the movie. The scariest thing was how the mother speaks to her son.

For those who didn't like the ending and thought it out of place to the rest of the film. The director is into the occult, so while the rest of the film incorporates elements of actual witchcraft mixed with horror, the ending is like a fantasy fulfillment. Rejecting and mocking you know who is par for course. Evil knows it has an enemy.
