Trivia
At about 29 minutes into the run-time there's a shot of a ceramic penguin figurine, a nod to Misery (1990) which features many similar plot points.

Goofs
It is raining heavily when Mark is peering through the hole in the roof during the ritual, but everybody inside the building is dry and no rain is visibly streaming through on the shots from within the building.

Quotes
Young Man at Gas Station: Slavery is over, pump your own damn gas

Same Ol' Stuff But Stuff I Like

Does this film bring anything new to the horror genre? No. It absolutely doesn't but I still liked it.

A lot of people are hating on this because it is nothing new but hey, don't you already know this going into it? I did so, I totally didn't care. I was ready to see the same ol' horror flick with some hoodoo magic and that was what I got.

The actors are good and it is an almost entirely African American cast. Our two main characters are played by Omari Hardwick and Loretta Devine. These folks know how to act. If you wanna complain about something they've done fine but don't knock them in this because they carried the entire film.

I personally enjoyed this little twist of a Misery-like film. If you don't think you want to see something like it, don't watch it. If you think it sounds interesting, go for it. It's not gonna knock your socks off but it has a few cringe worthy moments with great performances from our two lead characters. in all honesty, these other reviewers just sound a bit jaded rather than being willing to give credit where credit is due.
