First watch, I was impressed with the attempt at keeping the film terrifyingly spooky and keeping you on edge at what could come next. The creature effects are too notch creepy and the imagery of what we're seeing will Haunt some, if lucky....

Great story, atmospheric, and scary. The ending seems rushed though; once up to the church.
