alanig-55775 This was literally the worst movie ever I'm genuinely mad. It was good only because you thought it was gonna get good but the whole thing is just a bed sheet. Literally so freaking awful don't watch it
antoniocasaca123 This film, having some merits, such as the good interpretations of the female duo protagonist and the environment, which is shown in the film in a credible way, lived by them in war scenario and in a country of Islamic religion. However, when the film "plunges" into its supernatural tone, it is no more than the mediocre, with the scenes of "terror" bringing nothing new or original, are scenes already seen in dozens of other films of the genre. In addition, the film copies the main ideas of the movie "the babadook", that yes, a very original and good quality film. Note: 6.5/10
lizzstomania This literally scared the LIFE out of me. My favorite type of movies are horror movies, the kind that are truly chilling to the bone, not just meant to freak you out with jump scares or gore scenes. This movie left me SHAKING in fear. I've watched sooo many horror movies and very few make the cut of things that actually leave me frightened at the end - I often laugh at them due to the stupidity of characters and plot. This one by far is the best horror movie I've ever seen. I made an imdb account solely to review this movie so that others can experience it. The characters are realistic, and I'd rather not spoil the plot but it's certainly not your run of the mill evil spirits movie. Also, if you are watching on netflix or any movie that has language options, I'd highly recommend watching it in Persian because the other languages are dubbed and very poorly acted with unnatural intonation. If you like to be scared, you MUST watch this movie.
edrobbertse After seeing glowing reviews like: 5/5 The Guardian - 98%Rotten Tomatoes4/4Roger Ebert I thought this movie MUST be great! (or at least fairly good). After sitting through a slow building first half the movie just fizzed out. No real tension and very bland. Not at all memorable ... many better movies out there. All the soaring review have me utterly perplexed ...
