Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Blistering performances.

This movie was bland and a little boring to be honest.the characters are not that believable acting is mediocre funny at times but this still dose not save the movie

The movie begins interesting enough and delivers a few laughs, but the ending really just ruins it. The acting is contrived, the effects are laughable, and the plot is predictably stupid.

Well I get that it tried to be a self ironic parody of some rather famous horror films in the tradition of The Ecorcist or The Omen however it failed miserably in my eyes. The jokes were just too try-hard, it made every Adam Sandler comedy look like a piece of Shakespeare. Don't get me wrong, some of the dark humor was really funny that is why I give it the score it received BUT that were 10% the other 90% overshadowed the rest left me at the end of the film with a really bad taste. Adam Scott was okay, also one of the better aspects of the film, at least he had some recognizable comedic timing. Evangeline Lilly however was awful. I think its two ways: Either she really took the film she is in seriously OR she has absolutely zero comedic timing whatsoever. I also did not like Owen Atlas who was fla out horrible, sorry kid. I understand Sally Field did it because her son was directing it… but why did not even she try to save this mess? I mean her performance was really not good nor was it funny nor was it in any way an upgrade. Oh and that character AL was funny at first, original yes, self ironic sure, but they really overplayed it and so did the actress. No , the few funny bits that actually worked are not worth the time to stay through this from the beginning to the end.

Since Netflix started making its own movies and shows, they have pretty much been justifying keeping the monthly subscription, despite their increasingly pitiful movie collection. With programs like House of Cards, Orange is the New Black and the Marvel shows, they stand out among the pay streaming services that try to seduce cord cutters.Of course though, as this particular movie points out, they can't all be home runs. The first mistake was, this showed up in the horror movie category. Really, the best place for it is comedies but a very dark comedy at that.The movie was all over the place with what it was trying to be. If I could sum it up, I would say maybe a very loose adaptation of The Omen (which is actually referenced), except with less scare and more attempts at jokes that mostly fall flat and attempts at action, where they have zero knowledge of competent stunt work and special effects. Then there is the family aspect, which is meant to be heartwarming but mostly comes off cheesy, due to the abrupt changes of tone throughout.The 2 main actors are decent enough and they are well known. Most of the other actors are forgettable and one dimensional. If this seems interesting to you, there may be some entertainment value to keep you occupied. If however, you're looking for Netflix's next great thing, this ain't it.
