Where do I start. First off, it was extremely hard to look past Ethan Embry's awful Jesus wig. I mean, maybe they were playing off the "Devil's" Candy and were wanting to create a symbolic anthesis to this. However, they should have put in a little cash to make it at least a decent wig. Now, I appreciate a good horror movie where a muscled cool dad (Cue Ryan Reynolds in Amityville Horror) buys a (shocker!) haunted house with his annoying wife and angsty teen child/children. But this was too much. The flow of the story was disjointed and I wish they had fleshed out the Devil aspect more. I get they wanted to make it vague and eery...but more details on the devil would have made it creepier. They didn't focus much on the horror at all, just showing off how much Embry worked out before filming and can pretend to paint on camera. And don't get me started on his annoying Mrs and daughter. I was kind of hoping they'd both get taken out. I do not get why this has been placed on so many "top horror" lists. Would not recommend unless you like to see a muscular man covered in paint and you have zero taste in horror films.
