It’s not revolutionary in the genre for what it is, a simple premise outstandingly executed, but from where it came from. It’s a reminder of the power of the artist been unhandled by the artificialness of Hollywood and his vision untampered. Its imperfect protagonist makes you shout at the screen in his actions yet it keeps away form the tropes in horror that make the idiot protagonist annoying. He chooses to act stupid, he is a coward first an idiot only in context. It becomes gripping as you fear not only for him but for everyone who he chooses to keep in the shadows about the severity of the situation. And as you slowly stop rooting for Bear, stopping the tragedy of Nikki (who is the real victim) becomes the primary hope the audience stays for. Curry baker finds a way to add to the film a dual nature, where it can be seen as a contemporary timeless story, a classic possession movie, and simultaneously a film very modern in its characters and subtleties.
