There is no accounting for the judgement of others when they accuse this movie of being full of bad actors giving lousy performances.
No such thing is present in this film. The actors are deliberately giving somewhat loose interpretations of the dialogue to add a sense of realism, but everyone involved is doing a good job.
The other thing this odd little movie has going for it is the fact that all of the characters are very likeable, so the rather repetitive set pieces somehow don't become irritating as they would do in other movies.
None of the characters possess anything resembling a character arc, but this doesn't seem to matter.
All of the possessions are realised in ways we've all seen a hundred times before, but this also doesn't seem to matter.
I had a good time with the film, liked all of the characters, and was on their side throughout.
The only naff part of the film was the claim that it was based on the true story of Charlie X, and this daft old charlatan is seen in clips during the closing credits. He even manages to make Ed and Lorraine Warren seem credible, which is really saying something.
All in all, this is a fun way to pass some time.
