The ‘character being haunted by visions/ghosts/demons etc and nobody believes them/thinks they’re losing it’ is a horror trope as old as time. I’m 100% sympathetic to mental health issues and those with them, but I honestly think this film was just a strong horror in the tradition of this sub-genre.

She starts investigating it quickly because she immediately starts getting the visions herself. I think you’d have a good case if it turned out she was imagining things all along, but the fact we as viewers know explicitly before the opening credits this is real sort of dis-credits that.

That is my point, till the end, the case can be made that it was not one of the run of the mill horror movies. A psychologist, an educated person who is willing to help other people with her issues is the one that is least likely to fall prey to such situations. For me it is a wasted oppurtunity.
