The high concept of this one, no pun intended, is possession as a drug you can drop, which is must admit clever-ish. The places it takes that horrorwise veer from gleefully and spookily tense to been-there-guess-we-can-do-this-again but what got under my skin most is every scene with the injured kangaroo and it's the knotty teenage tensions that tend to be more emotionally suspenseful. But good job for being the first horror movie since the Austrian Goodnight Mommy to make me look away from the screen at one scene. Fresh faces, too, fresher accents
