    Bad, Bad and Bad.

    I realised after the opening few minutes that this was going to be bad BUT I would never have believed HOW bad it would be. Totally dysfunctional story, the "acting" was so amateur and I'd estimate the Budget for making this, including all wages etc would be about 30K. And to think it was advertised as "horror" in the category section. The film lacked any realism, was NOT dramatic in any way and I would like toknow where there was ANY that could be classed as horror? How this film has an IMDB rating of 5.2 I don't know, I hope that where the 'ZERO' is shown in the RATING that it truly gives ANY reviewer the opportunity to rate it as such. For me, this is unadulterated rubbish.

    Frustrating as all hell

    This is my first IMDb review because for the first time, IMDb ratings have completely failed me. 6? More like a 2. I've watched teen horror flicks and slash flicks more entertaining and sensible than this.

    The story is badly stitched together, there is emphasis on (nonsensical) action rather than words and when there ARE words the dialogue leaves you feeling awkward and frustrated. You wonder in what universe are humans supposed to behave like that? The dialogue isn't the only thing that's frustrating; add to that the camera angles, lighting, cinematography, transitions, and you're in for an annoying experience. If only a couple of these variables was done right, it would have made a world of difference.

    There are plenty of decent horror films out there with the demon child plot so do yourself a favor and skip this one.

    Don't let the rating fool you

    When I saw this had a 5.4 rating at the time of this writing I was thinking I finally found a good movie. Within the first 5 minutes I new I was in for a disappointment. The acting was mediocre at best and the 'twist' was pretty well exposed half way into the movie.
