First half was very good, very spooky, a tad social justice-y without the follow through. 

Opening a tourist trap to enliven the town you moved to to escape capitalism and hustle culture?  Great you don't get to see that happen.

The explaining of the spooky was tough to swallow, and even if you do believe in demons and exorcism (I don't) the conspiracy getting them to Italy is beyond belief. Also the ending was really disappointing,  I had two plausible scenarios going

he survives, he dies

but the ending sucked.
