Agree with Angra; there were clear King, Koontz or even, to some extent, Clive Barker inspirations in the plot line & characters. So you can guess, the story had a great potential to become something really cool but frustratingly it didn't live up that expectations as a whole. The most disappointing part was they didn't explore that house at all, I just didn't get why nobody ever even just went & checked out the upstairs?! I was expecting a Lovecraftian showdown at the end with some creepy-weird monsters popping out from the dark corners of the house but that never happened. I think it was all because of budgetary issues, all those 'angels & demons' in human forms also never think of revealing themselves even when they were fighting with each other.

It's sad, when a film like this with such interesting premise turns out this way & a probably cool devilish villain never get a chance to show up.

Also the min characters psychic gift. Why did he have it? Was it just to make him more interesting? It didn't come in handy at any time in the movie. He did't even bothered to tell his friend who would die in war maybe not to join the army. A real pal.
