Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

The demon puppet looks like it escaped a rejected Goosebumps episode.

Acting

Belinda McLory commits harder than this budget deserved.

Best for:Friends: Drinking game: sip every time someone ignores obvious supernatural red flags.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry while vaguely aware demons are happening.·Rewatch: Cult curiosity only — track Craig McLachlan's escalating confusion.
Heads up:Violence: Children in peril, some off-screen child abduction.·Jump Scares: Cheap loud-noise scares every 10 minutes like clockwork.
