I actually quite liked this movie that was recommended after watching a few other horror movies. What happened was I fell asleep watching a different movie and woke to find this one playing. I finished watching it, and then rewatched it.
It reminded me a bit of the Wishmaster series as it has the same plot device. Which I’ve found is a plot device I like to see played out. I also like the ending of this film, traditional horror films are meant to be tragedies, and I do enjoy seeing that played out with good effect.
I did like seeing the plot device being played out with teens, but I’m not sure we needed all the dark background. There are discussions and a history of ***cide, that while it does make sense for the story, but seems a bit heavy for what the movie is trying to do.
My Rating: ★★★
