oh and the demon enters the girl through her vagina
there was nothing in this movie that surprised me, it was entirely too predictable
to be fair though, i am much more interested in psychological thrillers than gorefest-jumpscare movies
so i'm a bit biased.
I'm not going to blindly defend a movie I haven't seen, nor one that I was expecting to be sub-par atleast.
But I do wonder what you meant by cliche?
Because it is a remake of an original horror movie, made back in the 80's, so parts of the story are going to be cliche, since they've been done to death in the time since.
But I don't doubt it was bad by many scales. It'll be worth a laugh to see it when it comes to DVD/BluRay on cheap at supermarkets.
And I am kind of upset that you mentioned them using too much CGI. I had hoped there would be very little, if none at all. It would've been cooler if they stuck to the original style of hand-made special effects and gore and such.
i was reading reviews and apparently they used almost no cgi, i was totally mistaken lol. it's just that most of the beginning of the movie looked really computer animated for some reason, maybe it was the lighting or something.
I suppose the cliches had to be there to maintain a connection to the original, so i'll give it a pass on that
the one thing that really killed the fear factor for me was the fact that the demon cursed - a lot
like "come here so i can suck your loving richard prettyboy" and "you stupid motherforgeter, i'm going to kill you like i killed your whore"
the people who had seen the original seemed to enjoy it a bit more than me, because they got references that I didn't. maybe it's better for someone who had seen the original
