Quick Synopsis:

Katie has been bothered by a supernatural force for many years.  It isn’t until her boyfriend, Micah, decides to start documenting the activity that things escalate.  Failing to heed the recommendation of a psychic, Micah takes actions that ultimately provoke the demon to new levels of terror.

The Bad:

  • Micah is kind of a goof.   He ignores things a little to easily early on.

The Good:

  • I liked the escalating level of night-time horror.
  • Yes, standing there next to the middle of the bed for nearly two hours is pretty terrifying.

Final Thoughts:

This movie did a good job of creating scary without going overboard.   I kept expecting something like the Exorcist at any moment and I am glad it didn’t do that.  They did a good job of thinking of creepy different night-time scenarios.   The attic cover scene was awesome!
