This movie has been on my mind for a while. I was expecting the film to be a found footage film, but it's more of a mixed medium.I was expecting this film to be a bust, but I really enjoyed it. The pacing is well done and the acting is actually really well done. The film places a girl in a hospital and psych The portrayal of the mental institution is a little archaic and stereotypical.
The movie does great job of holding your attention and does great at building up to what happens. People in Angela's life are attributing the happenings around her as coincidences and medical issues, but when Angela begins appearing where she isn't and on two different security feeds at once. She starts seeing people's secrets and being able to manipulat the environment around her into killing people, even manipulating others into hurting others.
This is when the church gets involved. It gets very much like The Excorcist in act three, but it had been much more subtle up to this point. Small framing mechanisms allude to some sort of Vatican conspiracy about possession, but doesn't really get addressed.
There's a couple of Checkov's guns in the film that you would take to be little more than a passing phrase that come up towards the end The movie's ending is just... well, insane. I can see why people gave this film such a poor rating, considering the ending. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's different. Thtat's for sure.
