Yooooooo this one is for all y'all Religious Horror movie lovers. The thing about this genre that fascinates and pleases me is obviously the Biblical theme. And this is no exception. The movie starts off with a very dark scene which introduced us to the antagonist, the Priest set out to destroy evil by any means necessary. After which we are introduced to several other characters, including a virgin who got pregnant with twin boys, a priest who gave up his priestly duties so that he can go be with his pregnant girlfriend, and the story unfolds. I loved almost everything about this one. Low budget but didn't feel like it. The characters, the settings, the pace, the directing, all spot on and the bloodiness was just enough to keep you glued.
It's definitely not kid friendly, which should be the norm for this genre, I don't understand horror movies that try to be PG.
I said "I loved almost everything" because I didn't like the ending. Which, like most horror movies, felt rushed and without any explanation of how things got there and what was going on. It was like they just had to end it so let's do it. The death of the Cardinal made no sense. What happened to Father Fox that he suddenly turned into this murderous beast? What were the meaning of his premonitions? Why was Laura crying when she held the baby? Why didn't Father Fox throw the baby off the cliff? What made him change his mind? How was he brought back to life? So many questions.
I wonder if there will be a sequel. It would be interesting to see how the boys grow up and how the church tries to stop the evil one.
