Pros:

• Levin's style never disappoints me
• Engaging and well-paced

Cons:

• Storyline is very similar to Stepford Wives but with
  Satan worshippers
  instead of robots
• Pulanski's film is pretty much a shot-for-shot equivalent, which is not Levin's fault (actually it's pretty impressive), but there weren't many surprises
