Is this being released by Universal here in Brazil? Oh hell, another movie that will go straight to DVD, I bet.

unfortunately true, which is pretty sad, since it seems as the perfect movie to watch at cinema

Stuckmann gave it an A-...looks like a winner. Supposedly the last 15 minutes is insane, but the rest is a slow burn with a haunting score and eerie imagery.

My very religious father learned more about this film and now doesn't want to see it with the rest of the family. 

I wonder if it was the satanists that pushed him away.

This is getting a wide release in 1,800+ theaters according to BOM.

I'm surprised but happy a quality horror film is getting exposed to a mainstream audience. It's probably unrealistic but I hope it earns over $10 million this weekend.

This can only be a WOM hit. They only began showing tv spots a week and a half before release. That said I have heard a couple of people at work talk about it. I'm definitely going to go see it.

The movie isn't playing by me, disappointed but expected. Horror movies never last longer than 3 weeks by me unless it's something bigger like Insidious or The Conjuring.

I feel GA's gonna fucking haaaaate this.

Central, but the area I go to is primarily seniors.

The death curse, of a witch is the signs of a deathwitch

Well at least they're advertising on the message board.

[deathwitch]

there you go

[75Live]

Nice the theaters near me are playing this on Thursday, so maybe I'll catch it tomorrow

this is going to bomb so hard, there's zero buzz for this, despite the amazing reviews, I don't get why is so hard to acclaimed horror movies to break out with the GP :/

Bomb? Isn't the budget like $25?

I'm not talking about profits, but about failing to break out with the public despite being a great movie

Oh I agree, they are going to go in looking for cheap scares and action, they're getting the opposite. Oh well, unfortunately that's today's audience for you.

Was really looking forward to seeing this, but read the article on it in USA Today and the director basically says it's a hammer-to-the-head unsubtle feminist rant.  That took away all my enthusiasm and I'll wait to catch it on cable or torrent it if it leaks.
