Great movie

Not scary in the least. More like a drama
This is a good movie, but it isn't scary. This is a drama about trauma, loss, mental illness, and how religion preys on the troubled and vulnerable. It's still definitely worth a watch, but bring some caffeine; if you watch it while cozy in the dark, you'll probably doze off a bit.
this movie is incredible! well paced. creepy. never a dull moment!
