Really good film! Was peeping through my fingers in parts ! Ending was a bit off a let down, but on the whole the best horror since paranormal activity ! Defiantly worth a watch!
Watchable

Ii is a bit creepy in parts, talented young actress who played the part of the girl possessed, the music was a bit over the top on some scenes.
Verging on the comic

Worse horror film I have ever seen. Needs to be reclassified as comical!!
Not scarey. Looks like it was made in the 70's.
