Not bad but not brilliant

Cameraman Brian is engaged to document the work of Professor Coupland towards helping Jane: although it is suggested that she is possessed, the Professor believes that the poltergeist-like phenomena which accompany her are actually rooted in her psyche rather than some external agency.

Following the success of The Woman In Black (a film about which I have mixed feelings), the revitalised Hammer Studios produce a possession / supernatural / psychological / partial found footage hybrid which purports to have been based on a true story, even to the point of including shots of the "real" people in the closing credits (good luck if you try tracking down the "true" story).

It's not bad. It's not scary, although it is peppered with "made you jump" moments. But it has a good sense of atmosphere, and it is quite an entertaining story, and is a little different from other entries in the genre.

I was sitting in front of a couple and, as it finished, he said "I thought that was quite good," and she said, "I thought it was sh!t." I think most people are going to either quite like it or be disappointed by it.
