A Dark Song (2016)

Rating: Thumbs Down 👎

It starts off promising with a mysterious ritual plans. However, the odd ritual is never explained, other than the fact that it is mentally and physically challenging. Apparently, eventually, if you do it right, you get a wish! Like a genie! But JK, your friend has to die and your finger gets cut off first. On the bright side, some how you can break out of the "leaving the circle" loop by talking to a giant man! On a more uplifting note, she asked for the ability to forgive instead of revenge, which in hindsight (based on the look the guardian gave her) may not have been granted, and she would have been stuck in the loop forever. I also didn't know that ghosts could drag dead bodies around! Made the movie a little weird. The son's death was never really addressed, and where was she when she was supposed to be picking him up from school at 3:30? What man???
And the poor guy that died! Didn't they have cellphones at whatever time period this plot line took place? So many questions...
