If you've seen Insidious, you've seen this movie, only far better. Not only does this cheap imitation lack originality, it also lacks sympathetic characters. Took me a while to figure out why the dialogue was so flat, but ultimately I realized that it was not recorded during photography, but later in a recording booth and then dubbed. It's not a lip-sync issue here, but an emotion-sync: The vocal emotions don't match the action on the screen. That, and an over-reliance on an intrusively melodramatic score, took me out of the film entirely on too many occasions.
It gets some points for some decent effects for its budget (though there are some effects that do look quite cheap) and a nod toward demonology, but otherwise, well...If you miss this one, you'll not have missed anything, really.
