Starts Great, 10 rating, then crap acting, dialogue, story quickly moves to a 1 rating. Complete Failure!

Great beginning at an earlier time with a demon and exorcism, cinematography, editing, sets, creepy acting makeup blood. Beginning is a solid 10 rating. The rest of the movie. The present day. We get the female lead, which was OK, but nothing special. The acting all around was cheaper than soap opera. The dialogue sucked. The story sucked. The atmosphere sucked. The whole freaking movie was set in a monastery and its grounds. Boring slow crap. Nothing is explained. Why did the demon decide to escape at that point in time. Was it because of the girl? Who knows.

The sets were decent in the catacombs and the cinematography was good. The rest of the movie sucked. It's incredible with suck a strong beginning that the rest of the movie fails in such a glorious way. They had a budget, good sets and cinematography. Some decent actors with crappy lines. The hero priest was one of the worst actors. The female lead was OK, but nothing great.

The rating is probably closer to C/D, or 4 stars. But for the complete incompetence and failure of a boring slow nothing happening movie, it is an F, 1 star. The only reason to watch this movie is to compare your thoughts to the reviews listed here. Maybe you can find some entertainment there.
