Bury the Devil

It is hard to make a movie that is this small in scope and cast to feel impactful while still leaving the audience engaged with all the characters on the screen. This movie certainly tries but doesn't get all the way. The central theme is spooky and the development of it doesn't always make sense but is good enough and is acted with great conviction even though parts of the cast are probably not up to it, at least not with this director. The effects are serviceable and the movie is technically proficient in what it is trying to do, but it doesn't quite land all its beats and therefore I can't give it a higher grade.
