Die junge Waise Stephanie (Shree Crooks) wird von ihren Adoptiveltern überstürzt alleine im Haus zurücklassen. In ihrer Abwesenheit macht sich eine düstere, übersinnliche Macht bemerkbar, die langsam von dem Kind Besitz ergreift. Als die Eltern nach längerer Zeit zurückkehren, sind sie überrascht, das Mädchen noch lebend vorzufinden - und geraten in den Sog der finsteren Kraft, die ihren vollen Zorn entfesselt... (Universal Pictures Germany)

The thing that works at the beginning is that the viewer has no idea how this little blond girl has ended up home alone and why she behaves so weird. I was fascinated, though ricci.s is right, that kid is exceptionally annoying. Unfortunately, the fascination doesn’t last long. When the parents show up the film becomes very linear and predictable. Horror-wise is weak, and also story-wise, though at least at the beginning, the premise does have some potential, and that’s probably why Blumhouse went for it. The execution, on the other hand, is terrible.

The American production Stephanie is one of those horror movies that draws you in at the beginning and convinces you that the conclusion is worth waiting for. However, your interest soon wanes as the sense of creeping foreboding mystery fades as things unfold. Hence, you hang on and cross your fingers, hoping the conclusion will be interesting, and maybe it will, but perhaps it won’t.
