The director talked a lot about the reason why the film was a slow burn was to allow the viewer to connect with the characters so that when something bad happened you were invested in their plight.
I didn't connect with them at all. Had a good laugh (due to the cliched predictability) when the daughter hit the pole. Although I must say the miniature re-creation of the event was my favorite part of the film.
It does bother me that it appears to be a legitimate cult based demon summoning while at the same time making damn sure he lets you know everyone involved is batshit crazy. Everyone is bipolar, schizophrenic, and dissociative identity disorder.
Are they? Weren't the two kids normal up until this point? And the schizo brother wasn't really schizo, he was being possessed?
