Ratings and reviews

Loved this movie. It's definitely low-key, emotionally driven horror along the lines of The Babadook (not that the movies are comparable beyond that). If you're expecting a mainstream "blockbuster" type horror, this probably isn't for you. But the cast delivers amazing performances and the movie emotionally moved me, and scared me a bit. I'm happy.

Very very good idek if demons exist but good show my dad had something with demons when I went to his home things flew every where tv on and off and pictures being tossed my dads home was outa control with ghosts or banshees or demons but goooooddd show i love it

Solid debut for a talented director, and an interesting look at horror from another culture. Definitely more creepy and disturbing than outright scary, but worth a watch for horror fans!
