Joshua John Miller wrote and directed the film. He's probably best known for writing The Final Girls, and this is his first time directing in over two decades. In terms of writing the film is a slow burn that draws you in for who the characters are to build up to the finale. There are some jump scares and moments of terror and for a horror that's a must.
Russell Crowe plays the actor who is haunted by events in his past and can really transform at the drop of a hat into the demon-possessed version of his character. He's not really had a lot of love from Hollywood as they tend to put him in roles to remind us how far he's fallen from the limelight.
Ryan Simpkins plays Crowe's lesbian daughter. It's important to the end of the film that she's lesbian. She does a good job as a daughter who has a lot of conflict with her dad. You might remember her as Alice from Fear Steet: Part Two and Three. She was great and I totally lost her in this role.
This isn't the first time Crowe and Adam Goldberg have acted together as they were in A Beautiful Mind together where Goldberg played Sol, he was also Private Mellish in Saving Private Ryan. He plays the jerk director in the film who berates Crowe.
The film was entertaining and scary, but the horror was too far in between. Result B-
