It was OK.

I wasn't overly impressed with the pilot...
It was good enough to keep watching but nothing too groundbreaking.
One thing I didn't like was the lack of a build up to the possession.
Geena Davis's character seemed terrified that her daughter was being targeted for demonic possession but there had only been 1 very short scene of her hearing voices in the walls....
So, when she was telling the priest about her daughter and how confident she seemed that something was going on.....I couldn't help but think "Really? But hardly anything has happened.."

I was hoping it would be a little more in tone with the original film too.
If it supposed to be set in the same universe, I would expect the possessed people to resemble Regan from the original (Yellow demonic eyes etc)

The way the possessed girl acted in the attic wasn't very effective or compelling either. (The floating rat looked terrible)
There was no signs of her or anyone else being possessed and then all of sudden...She was acting the girl from The Ring.
It just wasn't very convincing to me.

I'm sure for making comments that aren't entirely positive means I am gonna get slammed by people who loved the show now lol.
That's fine.....Just remember we can't all like the same things :-)
