Description- In grief, a couple dabble in black magic to re-birth their dead grandson.

Viewing- first time

Good for- A close watch until the end.

Fair warning- Things happen fast.

Thoughts-
I read the co-writer did a lot of Christmas romance...I'd love to hear how this came from that.

I almost shut this off. It was auto-playing and the title did nothing for me. As I reached for the remote, the initial kidnapping happened and I was intrigued. By halfway, I was invested and needed answers...not to the supernatural aspects, but to know what happened to Jackson and his mother.

There was no major shock with the story of Jackson, but when this gets rolling, there are a few fast-paced moments of, oh- is that real or imagined, and before you know it- Oh snap, that escalated quickly!
Lots of the demonic tropes you love.
I like to think of this as the source for haunted houses.
The very end is bland, but the work-up, superb. 

Amazingly acted.
