Altar (2014)
7/10
Should be a 7, not 5.6
6 November 2016
Okay, what this movie is not - The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, Carrie or The Shining. Does it have elements of those classic films? In spades. I'm guessing the shortcoming here was the budget. It could've benefited from more special effects, but it is what it is - a ghost story.

I feel bad for the movie because there's nothing original in it. You've seen everything in it before. As a matter of fact, some of the scenes were so carbon-copy The Shining that Kubrick must be rolling in his grave. I gave the film a 7 because, seeing it, I didn't feel it was a waste of time. It was a relatively solid possession/ghost story movie, and it definitely reminded me of the fare being exported from South Korea; still, it wasn't a total time waster. Would I watch it again? Not really. For whatever it was, it was decently made. I'm not complaining.
