Critical Analysis

Their are a lot of events that occur in this film that hint future endeavors that could possibly happen .For example when Nikki first goes to camp she uses the washroom and sees the blood painted on the and in the background their is a voice that mentions "Buck" several times this hints that its buck that will be the first one to have contact with this demon possession . The demon that takes over each character t leaves a blood mark on their right hand and every time it contacts the characters eyes tend to grow big and red . When Buck first got posses he was chewing the ceramic tiles on the walls this was exactly where Nikki died which could only mean that the demon had sense of this and was looking for her body. The lighting in this film tends to very dim and the camera pacing is quite slow so it moves a bit lat. Overall this was a low budget gore movie so not much is expected of it but it actually delivers quite well to the horror genre in general .
