Yup, it's slower, all pretty poor actors, bizarro plot points, ends abruptly....

Most have said a lot of true points about this movie already.

It's one of those "so bad, it's good in some ways" movies. It moves slow a lot of times, yet wasn't extremely boring for me, but like others have said in a way not much happens still.

I still didn't really like the ending though it was not expected as much and at least a bit bizarre, different, from a lot of low budget horror in some ways.

A lot of first-time actors here and some UK actors that more so came out of retirement to do this movie, so I didn't really expect top notch acting or feel that needed to be heavily critiqued.

I did like Eva Kwok, she had a nice look and was always at odds for the most part with one of the male actors for some reason or another. She was called an airhead by Kyle a number of times early on in the movie, but seemed about as intelligent as the others.

Some things just don't make sense in the movie as it goes along. There are several to point out, for instance when the people become possessed their real bodies are left behind and the body that is presented as them looks different to the living too, that seems to contradict the other possession explanation / back story between the mayor and Victor that we are told.

What some may have missed, and this may even be a type of explanation for the Amityville II movie based on the Defeo murders is that six people must be taken, possessed, killed every year in Amityville to appease a Native American curse on the town and the townspeople know about it and "survive" under the effects of that curse from year to year.

It's clear John R Walker and some of the others are a fan of horror and also nostalgia / history of movies, so I know they put effort and thought into this film, it just maybe didn't quite turn out in the end how they thought it would even with them having so much control over it.
