I title this: Experienced horror viewers opinions in relation to this movie.
I begin by informing you that you should watch this film if you enjoy originality, a good budget, hot girls and spiritual malevolent forces.
When you think "a film about the devil", the thought that usually proceeds is "been done before, what's new?", however I am delighted to say that this is not true in this case. Firstly, I was intrigued by how the story progressed through three different characters in sequence, and this is because of the style of the story being told. The story of the teen girl (initial character) came to an end, simply because...well, she died! The story of this individual was to introduce the events that followed, leading up to the ending. I did not get a sense of a twist, might I add.
Essentially, without the story of the first character, there would have been nothing to follow on with, and had the film focused any further on the said character it would have been a rather boring film, I must say.
Leigh's segment This character, was the next one in the story. Before I say anything further, I would like to say that this is a story about the devil trying to gain entry into the world, not hot young girls. Leigh was not supposed to be interesting, she just bridged the gap between the initial character, and the final character.
The story keeps you interested even more when you begin to see cut scenes from the past, revolving around how the initial character was effected by what happened in the introduction. These cut scenes happen at times when they seem most relevant.
I'm sorry but if you won't be able to keep up with the film, or you weren't happy with what was happening, or you found it difficult to get into the story of the characters, then perhaps you should just put on a copy of Bambi and eat baby food tonight instead. Because, you weren't supposed to be getting into the characters, although I honestly did not see it coming, I was not disappointed by any means. Actually I was shocked, and it was quite refreshing to not be watching a film that just stuck to one character. Moreover, the sequential character changes were justified, in that the story was moving forward while the plot never changed.
The story does not boil down to a supernatural birth. The story was always leading up to the idea that the devil was after something in particular. In this case, it was to be a person.
It was NOT the case that the story veered onto the path of evil children and the parent who sets out to stop them at any cost. Actually it seemed quite the contrary.
Overall, this is a great movie, different, original, tense, creepy and scary at times, with a new refreshing twist on the idea that the devil could be in the body of a child.
