This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Let me summarize this movie so you don't waste an hour and 40 minutes of your life like I did. A woman grieving her murdered son hires a mystic to summon dark magic to enact revenge on her child's killers. The first hour and 30 minutes is literally just the woman and man bickering at each other like a dysfunctional married couple. He constantly tells her she's a stupid **** and even uses her as masturbation fodder under the false pretense that it's "sex magic" (LOL.) She questions every little thing he asks her to do (except when he asks her to do a striptease as he rubs one out), lies to him and jeopardizes the safety/sanctity of the ritual at every turn. Nothing interesting or significant happens until the last ten minutes of the film. Demons mess with her, she meets a god, and asks for the power to forgive. Roll credits. I haven't felt this ripped off by a horror film in many years. It's not even scary, Irish horror films usually impress me, but this poorly written piece falls flat on its face.… Expand
