It felt like two different movies. Any time Nick Cage was on screen it felt like a completely different film.

I disagree. And I love Nick Cage movies, especially lately. He felt distracting and kind of snapped me out of whatever tension they had every time he was on-screen.

They added in a ton of shit way too late into the movie and it was disjointed. "It's supposed to be that way" no that's bad

Because they had to go the stupid ass demons win lolz shit that every fucking movie does that has shit like this.

It would have been a legitimately great movie if it was grounded instead of that cop out. Give us Cage brainwashing dads or some shit. Instead lol the devil did it, credits. That's genuinely my biggest gripe about the movie, because I hate shit that does this.

It's like an episode of NCIS with an interesting acting performance by a former famous person.

I didn't mind that as much, I feel like being destinedfor something terrible for reasons completely outside of your control is a legitimately scary concept, but I think I would have cut half the scenes with Nick to make the ones we DO see him have way more impact. Some scenes are genuinely upsetting, and some like the general store and the drive back from it kind of "show the monster" too much and make him less scary, more goofy.

Show me less of HIM, and more of what he's DONE. And more of him skittering in the background.

I agree. Felt like they were excited to make a Nick Cage movie, not make a movie that Nick Cage happened to be in.

Could not take Cage seriously at all. His first appearance, which was meant to be a jump scare, made me laugh. He's the weakest aspect of the film, imo.

That's the problem though He didn't really do anything. He created dolls and lived in a basement. That was it. They made him irrelevant and that's a huge bummer. We could have actually gone the entire film without seeing him again and had the same exposition dump at the end to wrap it up.

The cinematography was absolutely on point. The rest was just boring as hell. Not scary at all, and Cage was just too clownish.

Loved it. Great atmosphere, sense of dread, and is second to none in the details department. Satan in every almost every frame was great. When she sees the triangle in the Rorschach test, she says Father. She glances over her shoulder every time her intuition kicks in -- its Satan telling her what to do. Her prayers scare her because they don't go to God.

I just wish the screenplay had 25% of the horsepower to back up how visually dense the worldbuilding was.

I'm disappointed in almost all horror movies where some unseen magic force is the villain.

Isnt this supposed to be a comedy about how Nic Cage is supposed to be a giant spider with horror trope elements thrown in as an after thought?

Like Im sure the movie didnt spawn in any other way.. not sure if Id get enough of a kick out of that novelty being the center focus >_>

This is what did it for me. Made the character completely irrelevant through a literal exposition dump that changed the entire framing of the movie
