Devil in Ohio is a psychological thriller about a girl who runs away from a cult and is full of twists and dark secrets, but the lack of pacing makes it feel as though more could be said in a more streamlined manner. A film would have streamlined the central plot to some extent by focusing on the disturbing psychological dynamics of the cult and the girl's quite unsettling return to normal life. This would have been with a shorter running time, making the tension and stakes go up in a much more urgent and gripping experience.
