The Empty Man feels like 2 films in one. The first we've seen before. A group of silly teenagers play a game that's meant to evoke a demon. It builds tension nicely and after a good opening, you feel you are in for a scary ride.
However, the second half sees the main character investigate and ultimately descend into a spooky cult which may or may not be harbouring and cultivating the said demon.
Upon reflection there is a really good original idea here that maybe fails to execute. Although what's presented is something that isn't scary or mysterious enough.
There are definitely some good moments but ultimately this could've been better.
