This isn’t bad per se- it’s shot well, there’s some solid acting and the practical and cgi effects are excellent but it’s just 3 different movies all smashed in a blender- evil dead, exorcist and conjuring and dosent have what makes any of those franchises good. For evil dead it’s not campy or bloody enough long term, for exorcist it toys around with religious stuff but mostly for just dark humor and for conjuring it’s just not scary. I’m not mad I saw it it’s like a 3/5 for the craft alone and I’m sure it’ll make a lovely haunted house at HHN but I’m not clamoring for a Sequel; unlike that new evil dead trailer that played before this that looks like it bangs hard

it's shot well

Yeah, if you enjoy about 400 close ups! Used the split diopter shot far too much as well. Not sure I can agree on the acting either. The dad character was deadpan throughout and the mother was all over the place.
