User Reviews
VintageVHS – 7/10
“I love the slow-burn dread in this one. The piano sequences are haunting, and the atmosphere is thick with paranoia. Not perfect, but it really gets under your skin.”
SatanicPanic – 5/10
“The premise is cool, but the pacing drags in the middle. I wanted more scares and less arty stuff. Still, the ending left me thinking for days.”
HorrorHound1971 – 8/10
“This is a gem of 70s occult horror. The performances are solid, and the transfer of soul concept is executed with real creepiness. I'd recommend it to any fan of Rosemary's Baby.”
NightOwl – 4/10
“It felt dated and a bit slow for my taste. The music was creepy, but the story didn't grab me. Maybe I didn't connect with the characters, but I found it forgettable.”
