Found footage and religious horror can both go either really good or really bad. This one is really good. Gives off Immaculate/Sister Death vibes, but both of those movies were made over ten years after this one. Don’t know why people are hating on the priests. Everyone knows you need a young priest and an old priest! Themes the rules!
This should have five skulls. Great example of both found footage and religious horror. I don’t know why people don’t like the priests. I mean Father Thomas is kind of an A-hole, but the other guy was great. Solid scares and tension throughout the whole film. None of that slow burn bullcrap. I would watch it again.
The vintage mechanics of the found footage were nicely done, and the performances were okay, unlike most material in the genre. It's a shame the story was so weak, and the plot so derivative. The ending makes it impossible not to compare it to The Borderlands (2013), which was probably made for less but is definitely better written. Somehow it makes a film that is built around the horrors committed against women by the Catholic church into a story about a pair of fairly unlikeable men.
Underrated found footage movie
Good movie wish they made more like this
