Directed by: Osgood Perkins
Cast: Maika Monroe, Nicolas Cage, Blair Underwood
Running Time: 101 minutes
Lee Harker is a young
FBI agent who is tasked to help solve the case of a series of murder-suicides
that have been happening for decades within families in the
Oregon area. An occultist is suspected to be involved in the crimes without
being present at the scene, and the case brings Lee Harker back to her own
childhood.
First off, kudos to Nicolas Cage for the comeback role. He is amazing here. He is almost unrecognizable at first. Maika Monroe is also very good. Osgood Perkins was also very efficient in creating an atmosphere that surrounds you and never lets you out until the movie is done.
The only fault I can find here is in the promotion. Many sold this film as the scariest thing ever made. I mean, it is creepy and very entertaining. But, the scariest thing ever made? Not so much.
