This could have been a chilling horror movie, and a quite profound one as well, examining the eternal "science vs. magic" subject, but it doesn't cut it. You keep expecting it to become tense, but that only happens in the final 5 minutes. Until then, it moves like molasses, and the two or three scenes that work are those that try to imitate similar sequences from the "Omen". Unfortunately, this movie is not nearly in the same league.
