This is a film that truly should never have been made, not worth the film it's printed on as my old nan would say.
I'd love to say the acting was terrible but there wasn't any acting. There was just some cardboard that moved, in fact that was the most impressive thing about this film, seriously, you would struggle to see the stop animation in the movement. The only give away is that the characters are so wooden and stiff.
If you're still reading this review you have already spent more time here than you should ever spend on this film. It couldn't be worse than if you went to the cinema and just sat staring at the blank screen.
Plot summary
A doctor from New York travels to a remote plantation in the 1890s to care for a disturbed boy who seems to have inexplicable abilities. She begins treating the child, but in doing so, ignites a war between science and religion as the local priest believes the boy is possessed by the devil and the cause of the village's woes.

Awful
In the bin.
An uninspiring story told with an underwhelming style from one dimensional actors and actresses with zero chemistry doomed this film.
The costumes along with the attempts acting and filming style were a constant reminder I was watching a film.
There will be zealots for a certain actress in this film but hopefully this travesty of both sound and vision will make them realise they wasting time and money on a lost cause.
Box office revenue isn't always an indication of a films worth but judging by the real reviews and the global box office revenues, we can now say some times it can be spot on.
The child actor was the only one to deliver
This was a nice try and the story seemed interesting but the execution by the actors (other than the main young boy) all fell flat. No chemistry on the screen or believable dialogue. To say it was an underwhelming movie is being polite. The cinematography was decent but the editing and continuity was very amateur hour.
I honestly tried to enjoy this because the story was intriguing. Oh and how it was scored could have been much better. It just missed on so many levels. Unfortunately I think casting Amber Heard will make it box office fodder. Hopefully the director's next project will give them a better opportunity at success because this was definitely not a hit.
