I decided to put this one on the list this year because I had never seen it and (spoiler) tomorrow I’m watching Lisa Frankenstein and it’s supposedly in the same “Diablo Cody-verse” (or just “Codyverse”, I guess).
I liked it a lot. It’s a solid demon possession movie with some great creative scenes and a lot of very fun monster stuff. The way there’s almost a psychic connection between the two leads is pretty Stephen King-esque and the way it’s used in the film is great (especially in the parallel sex/murder scene). The characters are a bit cringe-y, but then I realized that this movie came out 15 years ago, and Emo was still a thing. Really the only thing keeping this one from being a solid 4 is the dialogue, which totally rubbed me the wrong way in ways that I’m not entirely sure I can express.
3 out of 5
