    Once you get past the inherent silliness of the premise, what we've got here is actually a deft little chiller, stylishly directed despite the so-so cast.

    Isn't satisfying or surprising. It doesn't even make sense from scene to scene.

    The plot is as riddled with holes as Matilda's victims, making her sudden appearances more distracting than distressing.

    A joyless amalgam of horror movie cliches, none used more exhaustively than the false alarm.

Its as if the script writer was on a role, then decided to let his dog write the ending of the movie.… Expand

    A truly dreadful, poorly thought out film with dreadful acting. Avoid.

    I had more laughs than scares while watching this. The acting was a hilarious and the plot not thought out at all, like they were desperate to just make a movie. The "demon" chasing them was quite amusing as well; the way it was set up was very unbelievable. The appearances she made were totally random and put whenever the movie seemed too "dull" for the director. It was either a great comedy or a horrible horror film.… Expand
