Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and horror fans. If you loved The Conjuring, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 26 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

After a young, middle-class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be demonic, but is certainly the most active in the middle of the night.
