Seems most either loved it or hated it. I'm more in the middle. I'm not a big fan of found footage usually ...but this was not bad, I'll make a few review points on my thoughts.
Story - it was fairly cliche, yet also original at the same time. The concept we have seen too many times...however the way it was laid out, being from a found footage from the 60s was unique enough to let it pass.
Acting - Overall it was really good. No complaints.
Scares - This is where it'll take major hits...with the exception of one scene where a Nun...is controlled by the girl, nothing was scary. It was your typical, voices in the night, & white/black eyes literally ...& that's about it.
Ending/ Twists - Another major issue, the "twist" if you can call it that, is that the Reverend Mother is actually evil herself (which was really NEVER in doubt from the moment we meet her...) & is possessed herself...I guess? However, why..or if any others are in on it being a house of evil? We never find out...ANYTHING. I can appreciate that real life is much like this, but this isn't real life lol. I'm not kidding when I say nothing is explained...questions I had were:
Why was the girl possessed? How was she pregnant & a virgin? Why were the statues bleeding? Why was Fr. Thomas a doubter? Was the baby evil as well? Why is the head Nun evil? Was SHE possessed or what? Was anyone else in on it? Why was she sacrificing babies? How did the Black Mass vanish within 1 minute?
Not one of these are answered from what I can recall.
Overall it was a fine time killer, but is rated extremely high for what it is...
