Well this movie was a surprise! Hugh Grant in a horror movie? Hell yeah!


As always, when looking for a movie, i just search by genre and watch one, without reading anything about it beyond it's title and a quick glance at the poster.

This movie turned out to be a "psychological horror" movie that does the genre justice...big time.


Palpable, in this movie, the tension is!


The theme heavily revolves around religions (in plural), which is a topic i personally enjoy.

And it surprised me too, because the movie is not exactly what you'd think it is, when you hear the combination religion and horror.

Besides the palpable tension and interesting theme, i found myself second-guessing myself. Every. Step. Of the goddamn way.

Which is very good; sometimes you reach a point in the movie where you know almost everything about it, and kinda know "there's no way out of this plot but for X to happen". But that didn't happen.


So, to-the-point: the dialogue is good, the cinematography is neat, interesting theme and plot.

Recommendation: Positive.

It's definitely a recommend and a good watch.
