How can people give this movie such good reviews, i cant remember the last time had had such a painful experience. The 3 male actors ruined the movie within the first 15 min, they are just terrible. Cheasy lines just keep coming one after the other. "Trangool", devour of souls, released on earth after taking 4 human souls, "One for each corner of hell". Who writes something that daft. I would give him my soul if i got back the 1 hour 26 min i wasted on this crap, its a long way down since 2011 horror classic for the leading lady...

PS: 4 SOULS AND HE WOULD BE UNLEASHED, THEY FOUND 4 DEAD PEOPLE IN THE GIRLS HOUSE, THE MOVIE WAS ACTUALLY OVER BEFORE IT STARTEF

How this got a 5 * rating is far beyond me. This was a piece of rancid garbage.

I didn't realize this was going to be a possession movie, which I'm not a big fan of anyway, but I have seen decent ones. This was not even close to decent.

So she can manipulate objects and kill people with them, yet can't manipulate the shackles holding her? Ok, maybe I can buy that in some weird way. But the other stuff? I can suspend belief with the best of them, but ffs.

The possessed girl can hoist grown men off the ground, yet has problems taking out the one female at the end. She can stop bullets and send them back at a person, but is beaten to incapacitation with a wrench. Sure. She takes out the other people pretty quickly with her demon tongue, yet at the end when she and the two other possessed guys have the last gal incapacitated at the van, they stand there for about 2 minutes just writhing around and swirling their tongues until they're stopped by some other random spirit (yes, I know who it is. But that made zero sense as well). "But it's in slow motion so it's dramatic!" Yeah, right.....

Not only that, but she could've taken them out long before they even got to the building they were holding her in. Or like another user said, she had plenty of souls to pick from in the first place when they tried the exorcism.

The acting is ridiculous, as is the fact that the main female kidnaps somebody, for personal reasons and gain (which the reason is shown to be unwarranted and wrong), acts all hardcore, then suddenly we're supposed to forget all that and sympathize with her as she turns into the cliche, screaming mess you'd find in any other horror movie.

Speaking of cliches, the whole "possessed person doing the quick neck bend to the side with the sound of the bones cracking" is ridiculously played out and overused anymore. In this one it's painfully obvious it was simply jumping on a fn bandwagon.

There are many other migraine inducing elements in this movie, but I won't mention them all. I'll just say that either the reviews are padded by friends and family of the people involved with the movie, or there are some extremely sad, pathetic, and brain dead people watching it. Maybe a little bit of both.

In short, a horrible, terrible movie.

I'm losing confidence in IMDb rating. This is the 2nd time I watched a movie based on the rating and within 20 minutes was left scratching my head wondering what could have gotten the movie such a high rating. My suspicion is all the staff of the movie goes to IMDb and click on the best rating without leaving a review which is why there is less reviews from real people and a lot of votes.

This movie is predictable and cliché. Some scenes dragged out too long and you start counting the minutes to when it's going to end. When they 'think' they have a winning scene, they repeat again and again and again. That cliché of everything going dark and suddenly something scary pops in front of you screaming is no longer a shock, it's what everyone starts to expect hence NOT scary. Then it disappear then it comes back, then it disappears then it comes back. Seriously its like a game of pop the squirrel. Just give me a hammer and I'll pop the bloody thing's head.

I gave up after 30 minutes and forwarded to the end. It was funny, that she got saved at the end by someone so unlikely and she is not even surprised. God that scene dragged out for minutes and for viewers movie minutes feel like hours.

This is NOT a good movie. It's been done so many times. No shock value, no surprises, no real scares. And the captured girl already delivered the best review like in the first ten minutes - let me go or you will all die tonight. Thanks for the warning.

Sometimes I find it hard to fathom why certain movies get such a hard time from reviewers. I'll go through some of the criticisms. House On Willow Street is accused of using cheap jump scares. Actually that's probably true, only the scares aren't that cheap, in that ghosts pop up here and there. But the movie doesn't in any way rely on these scares for its overall arc of tension and fraught desperation. They are just incidental manifestations of a demon growing stronger, and the fact is that the band of criminals soon suspect this unreality and generally hold their nerve. Willow Street is also accused of using horror cliches. Not true. If you read such reviews you'll notice that most don't indicate what cliches they are referring to. One that did name a cliche had issue with the creaking neck of the demon. OK, we've seen creaking necks before. No one seems to mind this cliche in reference to dozens of zombie movies. Generally situations move so fast and are so engaging that maybe a cliche or two is used, such as talisman cuts appearing on people's bodies as they are possessed, but the action is so fast and frantic, and there are so many clever details, that all I experienced was profound entertainment. Another criticism is that the demon exhibits huge powers but is unable to free itself from shackles. True, but levitation and reversing bullets is not quite the same as smashing an iron collar, and besides, the further into the story the further the demon has to dissipate power to control subjects already possesses. And it is also quite clear a battle is raging within the demon against the original possession, whom, of course, can't be killed outright as the demon needs the body it inhabits. Questions about the acting standard and the script are ridiculous. Both are excellent. This isn't a teen movie, perhaps that's the sort of formula people are missing in that regard. The special effects were really cool in this movie. I found this movie to be wonderful entertainment, with rich texture and lighting, a superbly original concept, a wonderful desperate tension that drove everything before it throughout, great editing and some brilliantly chosen camera shots. The soundscape was well targeted. I have no problem giving this terrific horror gem a 9.

I've literally given this 2/10 purely because it's actually well made, unfortunately that's where it ends, the plot doesn't actually make much sense, the acting is terrible to the point where you want them to die, and the demonic girl is very un-scary and annoying, and why on earth do they turn into zombie demons in the end? Genuinely made me laugh

This counts as two people's review, we could have done something more interesting like watching grass grow. Probably the worst "horror" film made since cinema was created, not even a bad horror film that makes up for it by giving you something to laugh at, it's just plain annoyingly crap.
