The premise of this could have turned into something really cool and mildly terrifying if they had done it properly. But they did not. I wish that I had not chosen to forgo a couple hours of reading a really good book that I'm in to go watch this because it was a waste of time. The character was not appropriately scared for anything that was going on in this movie. She didn't even scream when gross rotting demons were in her face. She kept touching a dead body and desecrating a corpse. Like.. it was just bad. There could have been so much potential for some good jumpscares, for some really intense scenes with these rotting corpse demon things. There was no intensity in the music, there was no intensity in the acting, and the storyline just didn't make sense most of the time. She finds this back room where her grandmother is practicing some voodoo witchcraft stuff and she has no idea what's going on. She googles it and suddenly she knows how to break whatever curse she thinks she has and she's upstairs doing these incantations and voodoo stuff and reading out of a book that's in Spanish when she doesn't even know spanish. It was just a hot mess from start to finish. She keeps talking to her grandmother's corpse like her grandmother is alive and they're having a snarky chat. It was just so odd. I think the one bright spot in the movie was Joe. I can't remember the actor's name off the top of my head, he was in Late Night With the Devil. But he did a good job with what he was given. Would not recommend going to see this in the theater, maybe streaming, but even then that would be a stretch.
