This film takes the bible passages, combines them with some good acting and one hell of a score (pun was intended, even though I prefer to pretend otherwise) to create a truly haunting film. The score for this film is the epitome of horror film music. Just listening to it feels like an invitation to the Devil to take your soul and send you to an eternity of watching Grown Ups. When added behind even the most mundane things they are transformed into tools of the devil. And then there is the kid, Damien... what a creepy little dude. I cannot imagine his parents having an easy time finding a babysitter.
I am not sure how those not raised in religious families will respond to this, but those who have should be thoroughly freaked out.
SCARINESS 4.5 out of 5 If you were taught in a Catholic school, this film should shake you like an angry nun.
GORE/VIOLENCE 2 out of 5 A couple of shocking images. Nothing to lose your head over.
STORY 4 out of 5 Fairly simple story that has some real weight.
