About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow-burn, psychological supernatural mystery with a classic, slightly kitschy vibe and more mood than shocks; Not for you if you need fast pacing or lots of gore like Race with the Devil.
Pros: strong lead performance; intriguing possession concept; eerie, stylish sets | Cons: slow, stretched pacing; uneven scares; clumsy, dated effects
