I found this movie entertaining! It is not consistently great but great at times an ok at others. A very interesting concept and the method of execution of the story is unique! Nice amount of gore! If you haven’t seen it check it out on Shudder!

How a guy that has basically made his living directing Christmas trash for Hallmark could team up with a writer peddling his freshman script make one of the better horror movies of the year, I will never understand. Yet, here we are.

Let’s take a moment to consider some essential things we should take into account regarding senior welfare and how Satan can make all the difference.

A low budget affair from a director whose filmography would not lead you to believe he'd direct something like this, but it's ambitious, snappy, and puts enough of an original spin on a classic concept to feel fresh. Some of the weaker effects and stiff supporting cast might pull at the seams a bit, but the lead couple are great, and I'm always down for things going totally batshit. The handful of tastefully placed background ghosts were a nice touch too.

What a delightfully spooky surprise. Didn’t expect this to be as effective, emotional and downright SCARY as it was. Dyck’s direction is razor sharp, the performances are endearing and some of the imagery stayed with me well after the film ends. Incredibly effective.

First time watching this, I had no idea this dude was a hallmark Christmas romance film director making his first horror movie. Knowing that, watching it again, it made me even appreciate it more.

Now I desperately want him to combine those two genres. A Christmas romance movie about a rich banker who comes home to visit the town he left years ago only to find love with the local small town cookie-maker girl, that then turns into a descent into madness.

I have the title. All I want in return is a Special Thanks in the credits.

Spooky.

Anything for Jackson is a held in captivity/haunted house/satanic rituals hybrid from Shudder and it's pretty clever and fun. There are some images that will infect my brain for a while because of the creepy effects and morbid story. I like the script and the performances are fine enough for a low budget film. I just wanted a little bit more but I have no major complaints.

Sure.

So a grieving elderly couple kidnap a reluctant pregnant woman in order to perform a reverse exorcism. Hoping that this will lead to their young grandson being reborn in her newborn baby. Unfortunately the black magic they used brought back more ghosts than they expected...

This was a clever lil gem! Ended up being a dark, twisted, somewhat bloody spookfest(ala AHS Murderhouse). With some creepy looking ghosts to boot.
