Owens stars in this inventive Bogey man-type story about a demon named
Hallowface. Two story lines tell the tale of Hallowface, one about a mother
worried that her son’s possessed and the other is about a father (Owens) trying
to protect his daughter who seems to have conjured Hallowface from her
imagination. There are some frightening moments and a lot of great imagery at work
here. Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo does a fine job sustaining the mystery until the end and
the result is a satisfying conclusion to a psycho-mystical horror film. Grade:
B+
My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.
