The imagery, the cult aspect, the old person who can’t be controlled – It’s great. The execution of the whole thing is pretty darn good too. The pacing is really what makes this movie a must-see because it’s so fast...

... One of the most disturbing horror films of the last decade. [Full review in Spanish]

A smart and clever found footage film that uses the tropes of the subgenre to examine mental illness. The presence of a refreshingly low-key queer character and a stunningly vulnerable performance by Jill Larson make this a must-watch.

4/5

An interesting subversion of standard possession tropes that doesn't forget the emotional plights of its characters.

There is something really unsettling about watching someone, especially an elderly individual, descend into a place that they are clearly never going to come out of.

It's worth watching, must recommend to every people you know too. But for me, it's just not that scary

The movie started pretty strong as a mockumentary, but the story and plot kind of lose itself and is hard to follow, especially towards the end of the movie where the editing choices made it nearly impossible to even see what was going on with so many black out cuts which made the ending forgettable. The actors, especially from the documentary crew were terrible, felt forced in a way, but the old lady did a great job with her role.

It’s okay. It provides quality scares and entertainment but it is nothing special.

The mixture of demonic possession with an elderly woman’s increasingly dementia-wridden psyche makes for a unique and interesting spin on what might have otherwise been a collection of old narratives strung together.
