Okay, I realize this movie isn't the best ever made or anything, but I really don't understand all the negative reviews. Just don't watch it with too many expectations. If you want an action packed thriller, you're gonna be disappointed. If you want a bloody slasher, you're going to be disappointed. If you want edge-of-your-seat suspense, shocking jump scares, and a stellar plot line, you're gonna be disappointed. If you just want to watch a fun horror flick with a decent story line, moderately scary scenes, and an overall suspenseful feel, you'll probably like this one. I agree, this movie definitely starts slow. But if you give yourself a chance to get into the mood, watch clear to the end, and enjoy it for what it is, it's really not bad. Like I said, just enjoy it for what it is, and you probably won't be too disappointed.

A new pastor and his family are welcomed by the church-goers in a remote town, but a dark secret is uncovered as one of the daughters is targeted for special attention ...Fairly interesting story that's well performed but poorly paced, and the end lacks a real punch. We're introduced to the family and the life of the town with good dialogue and performances, and the innocence of the setting is well delivered through bright cinematography. But the lack of pace becomes boring - mostly through the editing rather than poor story - and the absence of shadowy atmosphere is a mistake. The frights are delivered by ho-hum CGI common to Asian horror over the past two decades. The climax is OK, but the story fails to establish a coherent myth.The lead actress is a honey, with pretty face and a generous rack, but the director doesn't let her off the leash. A few scenes are unnecessary or overfilled with dialogue, particularly when the elder pastor delivers his speeches.The lighting is mostly bright, and with the sluggish editing, the story doesn't develop much of a sense of dread. Outstanding is the sound, with subtle music and some well judged scenes where the volume is dialled down to create a sense of alienation.Overall: frustrating mix of good and bad, with a fatal flaw in the failure to explore the origin of the horror.

This is probably a film would make a passable 'first horror' film for a teenager ... however as a thirty something I found it dull, facile and utterly boring. If you like a film with some sort of pace - this is certainly not the film for you. It's a shame as the cast seems promising and the premise is actually quite interesting. The main issue this film has is it is sloooooow to the point of being a cure for insomnia. I'm assuming the idea was to give the viewer plenty of 'getting to know you' room with the characters so we really really care about them, get invested in them. Yeah -that doesn't happen here. All that happens is you find yourself watching the clock waiting to see how long it is before it ends. Adding to that is lacklustre cinematography, dull scripts and painful to watch teen led drama and all in all this film is a fail.

Apart from the slow pace and the predictability, every character in the movie acted abnormal. Even the Family that moved to Stull.Having seen this so called horror movie, I'm left with a big why and one how? How does Pastor Kingsman get in touch with the dad in the family in the first place, when they lived in a big city six states away? Why would they move to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere when they were happy in the city?Why does Pastor Kingsman open the gate to hell and let the devil out, just so he can close it again? Why let the devil out in the first place? Why does the oldest sister trust the creepy Noah? Why are the sisters not telling their parents about the tooth found in the cake? Why does the dad go to the church, when his youngest daughter is clearly sick/possessed? Why is the family not taking her to the hospital? Why will the other family in the house where the brother tries to hide not help him? Why is Noah not warning the family and tell them to get out before it's too late? Why hasn't Noah exposed Kingsman or killed him? Why does the elder sister, who survives don't flee the town or take vengeance on Kingsman?Why do the townspeople of Stull accept that Kingsman worship the devil? Why is this movie so stupid? Don't bother watching this. It's not worth it.
