Empty watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend. There just isn't a lot to care about. A lot of awful stuff happens, but they don't build the story correctly. He's a jerk and a half so we don't care what happens to him, and we get a whole dramatic reveal of explanation all at once in the 3rd act, but Sarah Brooks is the only thing that is interesting about the first 2/3 of the movie and that's at least half because she's playing "sexy little thing" with him and not for any paranormal reasons for which you might have actually tried to watch the movie. I agree that misdirection is a decent tool, but you don't do it for 45 minutes for a 5 minute reveal that didn't actually need 40 minutes of the 45 minute misdirection: that's a horrible magic act. There is a great, if weird, story here: just horrible execution to make it happen as a movie.
