I love James Wan movies and I'm a die hard Blumhouse stan!! But I have to admit, their movies have been going downhill lately. They've gone from playing a part in some of the most successful horror movies I've ever seen, to now some of the silliest most unimpressive ones. This movie actually had potential. The amount of jump scares in the beginning was my favorite part! I honestly didn't mind the storyline either, even if it was headed in a predictable direction. Where everything went downhill for me was the monsters/spirits. The second a "monster" in a movie is revealed and they are overly CGI'd or look like a Halloween costume from Party City, I immediately lose all interest. When there are UNLIMITED amounts of technology that can create the most creepy and realistic images in seconds then why are we watching goofy comical looking characters in horror movies? Sorry, but this is such a pet peeve of mine lately and sadly, GOOD horror movies are so difficult to come across nowadays!!!

So much potential but once the monsters are revealed, the film goes downhill
