  I started this movie a while ago and was interrupted like 15 minutes in finally got back to it and I should have taken that interruption as an excuse to bail on the movie.

  Summary

  The Harrowing is an ambitious but entertaining mess, with a fairly decent performance from Matthew Tompkins

  The Harrowing is the latest film from horror director Jon Keeyes, who has brought us such “delights” as Nightmare Box (2013), Fall Down Dead (2007), and American Nightmare (2002). In his mission statement, Keeyes has stated that with The Harrowing he has set out to create ”an intricate puzzle like this – that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.” The film is certainly a puzzle, often confusing and frustrating, with…

  Yes, a little cringy at times bot not all bad. A few "known" actors. Some of the dialog pretty bad. 2nd act was the best. Demons were well.. strange.

  Thought I'd pay more attention on the titles that bypass DVD in the UK, and come straight to premium streaming. This is the first, and while it's by no means an out and out clunker, if I'd picked it up on disc, then it'd likely be on eBay soon after.

  This tale of a vice detective going undercover into a forensic hospital to discover the truth about what happened to his partner, shows momentary signs of life with the occasional cool visual in the final reel, but overall it's a little bland.

  Matthew Tompkins is a rather anonymous lead, and although Arnold Vosloo and Michael Ironside show up in supporting roles, it's all a little bit flat and forgettable.

  Vice detective Ryan Calhoun (Matthew Tompkins, Sicario) is one of the best cops on the force. But after his partner is ritualistically murdered, his need to discover the truth takes over his life, sending home to a hospital that becomes his own private hell.

  Even worse, Calhoun is suspected of the murder. Going undercover in a mental hospital, he tries to keep himself sane while remembering his life — he’s married, he’s a good cop and demons can’t be real. He learns that nothing is — or isn’t — the way he believes it is. Yes, that sentence is confusing but so is the life our hero is about to plunge himself into.

  The Harrowing has some star power, with…
