Solid and Entertaining

Warning: Spoilers
Pros: Well-shot and good looking movie. Main actors are doing a pretty good job and are quite believable (including the child actors). SFX and CGI add to the vibe of the movie really well. I enjoyed the modern twist on the "fake exorcists faced with a real exorcism" by making them essentially twitch streamers/YouTubers. Wraps up pretty well and the actress being possessed is doing a great job. Gore/scary parts are at the right intensity and do a good job at driving the story forward. Most of the actors are unknowns which helps with immersing into the story. Movie was entertaining and I was easily invested the whole time.

Cons: While it was entertaining with well-placed gore and some scary sequences, I didn't find it scary. I had the same experience as I would with a drama or action movie - but take that with a grain of salt because I don't tend to find SFX and CGI monsters/creatures/demons scary, especially once you've been looking at them for the majority of the movie. That being said, it was still intense! Another con for me was some of the side characters' acting (bar scene ladies specifically) was a little too TV-movie, but it also could have been the writing for them.

Overall, a solid and enjoyable movie!
