This film started quite well and - to comment on one thing - the 'scary' effects were quite good but after a while when the same effects within different 'objects'/bodies reappeared again and again, the repetitive pattern made us yawn.
In part a rather good screenplay and idea but not as well realized as it could have been.
In a 'Bergmanesque' tradition the father and son-relation within a religious context, constitute the base for the tormented main character and his visions and fears.
Using Jonas Malmsjö in the principal role, talking about his 'father the priest' to obviously connects to 'Fanny and Alexander' and his fathers - Jan Malmsjö - role in that film.
To much overacting and 'effects' blur the psychological drama that could have made this film a singular work.
