I've seen better and I've seen worse
20 December 2022
Contrary to the apparent popular opinion here, I found the movie worth watching, although I would certainly not bother watching it again. Yes, one could probably find many faults with this movie, especially if you are a hardcore horror fan. As for me, I prefer a good story and atmosphere over blood and gore; and I prefer subtlety and suggestion over screaming violins and deformed, rotting faces popping out behind every corner; which may go some way in explaining why this film wasn't too bad in my opinion.

Now, as a rule, I try not to get drawn into responding to other reviews on here; but for once I will make an exception: It concerns a reviewer describing the film as a "Christian horror" and then effectively using their whole review as an opportunity for launching a thinly veiled attack on Christianity. Considering the reviewer's assessment in context of what Agnes is saying to John towards the end of their conversation, this film can hardly be regarded as "conveying a Christian message". Also, I'm quite sure that no one has "shoved this movie down your throat" - or anybody else's, for that matter. You chose to watch it (to the end it would seem), and you could just as easily have chosen to stop watching at any point. So, rather leave the attacks for a different time & place - they succeed in nothing more than conveying a certain degree of hostility and ignorance.
