The Atoning
Overview
Vera, Ray, and Sam, a seemingly normal family, are haunted by more than mere ghosts. The lingering horror of their past threatens their ability to function as a loving family until they become enlightened by a mystical encounter. From that moment on, they're thrust into a horror worse than anything they've ever experienced. Personal demons manifest and tear the family apart from the inside out as they come to terms with their past.

Gimly (Rated: 3)
To see the same turn done better, watch Haunter. To see the same scares done better, watch The Conjuring. To see the same plot done... Well, honestly, probably worse, watch any Lifetime movie.
Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
