THE CHOSEN is another sedately paced indie horror flick set in a family home. A little kid is ambushed by a demon while her family proceed to do their very best to save her. Sadly, this merely consists of endless small talk, lots of emoting, long conversations, and no actual horror content. As a result, it's entirely boring.

Horror gets a bad rep from people ... and movies like this one are helping with that false narrative. Of course there are bad movies in every genre, but Horror seems to be affected most by it. And with comedy, which is a genre where you could argue it's also easy to make a movie fast and cheap, you have the safety net of "taste". Because humor is in the eye of the beholder, but quality isn't.So while it would be tough to come up with something completely new, you should expect that something better can be done, even with a devil takes people (sacrifices made) and so forth. There is a tendency to try to give characters some depth. The actors just can't pull that weight. Not saying they get a great script and they mess it up, but still they could and should have been able to raise the bar. Acting ain't that easy ... making good movies neither

This movie really needs a lot of work. First of all I don't think anyone would sacrifice another family member to save another especially the grandmother that was absolutely innocent in this movie. I did appreciate that this was all in the name of religion and the danger of the religions. The most ridiculous part to this movie was that it was rushed and now I'm not saying the movie had to be long, but it definitely needed the story to marinate to build certain characters to seem like necessary people to get rid of in the first place. I think this movie needed to have better child actors/actresses and better theme placements. I really think the movie was just in a rush to get finished. Lilith also, comes from the Jewish mythology and not the Christianity Mythology, so I thought that was interesting as well. I did find it awkward that a nun was the writer of a demonic sealing book. I just wish the movie was not so strung out on religious beliefs, but instead stuck to the concept of being a horror movie.

Don't let your child watch this movie! It is a pile of sick fecal matter not even convincingly made. The plot is immoral, treating human lives like pawn-able items. It pathetically tries but fails, in its attempt to portray that any human being would accept that it is OK to kill 6 innocent blood relatives to save your one niece. An escapee from mental institution for criminal patients might agree but the lead actors don't look the part. Also the lead actor doesn't have a consistent personality portrayed in the film. He is out to save his niece and also says he can't kill children to save her but he wants his own unborn baby aborted. What a pile of poop! As others have pointed out the plot is very rigid - it would have been better if there was some positive lead character in the film who finds out about the murders and gets the killers arrested. At-least that way it would have catered to those among us who are not escapees from mental institutions. The writer and director of this movie would do a service to humanity if they don't attempt to work in the cinema field ever again.
