I'm not a slasher fan, and I wasn't involved in the production... I rented it from Netflix out of simple curiosity. Well... I have seen worse.
I think the director does a reasonable job at creating an eerie tone, and the concept is kind of interesting, but there's just to much to overlook to recommend this to any casual viewer.
To say the story is simple is an understatement. Too little character development, no surprises, and its just too generic for my tastes. NOW, I'm judging this against much bigger budgeted movies (in general). And I know its quite hard to make a low budget film work, and in general there are very few films of this budgetary range I'd recommend. Now compared to other films in the budgetary range? Which I'm assuming is about 50K or more (estimated 300K my butt), it's not bad. You can do a lot worse. It moves at a good pace.
The acting is pretty iffy, and the music gets really over done in a lot of places. But I will say, there is one solidly acted, solidly directed, solidly written scene toward the climax where the killer and his priest come face to face. If the filmmakers had more scenes at the level of that scene, I think they would've had something for a wider audience.
as is... for slasher fans only!
