It Comes (4 Stars)

This is the 47th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

Can someone please tell me what this film is about? After the film I offered to buy a bottle of wine for anyone who could explain it to me, but there were no takers. A few of us stood together and tried to figure it out together, but we couldn't agree.

For the first hour of the film it seems like a simple supernatural horror story. A family is being haunted by a powerful force called the Bogiwan that's targeting their daughter. One of their friends has a girlfriend called Matoko who's an exorcist. She's not a very good exorcist, and the exorcism fails.

Then it gets weird. Things are confused by talk of not just one, but many supernatural beings. There are aborted babies, and there are people who've been killed by the Bogiwan and still don't know they're dead. There are three different exorcists who seem to be working against one another, killing those who get in their way.

Despite the confusion, this is an enjoyable film. When I can finally watch it on Blu-ray I'll be able to pause it at the difficult sections to figure out what's happening.
