When this came out, I didn't bother to watch it because all "found footage" films feel the same to me and they never scare me. However, when the sequel came out, I decided to give it a shot and I was more than pleasantly surprised.I really dug the story of seeing a documentary film crew follow a disillusioned preacher who, after answering a letter about a possible possession, sees his faith renewed as he stares directly into the face of evil. Not to mention that Patrick Fabian as the preacher proved to be an amazing actor who kept the story going and kept it engaging.Granted, I didn't find this film scary at all but the story was very interesting, Fabian was very awesome to watch and the ending was killer! So even without the creep factor, I really dug this horror film!

The first 3/4 of this movie is quite boring. Following a standoffish ex-priest whose hell bent on showing that demons aren't real. The cinematography style is first person documentary which isn't always my favorite. While nothing is fundamentally wrong with the movie, it just gets rather weird and doesn't make much sense. And it's not very scary.

Horror movie viewers will have to see the film for yourself to decide an opinion. The conclusion is ambiguous and purposeful in the same breath, in order to make watchers think or conjecture. This is not a film without its flaws e.g. dark lighting, shoddy camera work, and a short runtime, but this is also a film to be contemplated, after the final reels have long since died. And I do like films that leave one to ponder.Overall: 6.5 out of 10.
