Guardian

The shocks aren’t especially chilling, and the sense of claustrophobic entrapment in the milieu is undermined by a cop-out open ending.

Rated: 3/5

The basics are sound, but The Communion Girl’s ambitions are too redundantly straightforward—a serviceable-at-best rehash best suited for fresher-faced horror fans.

Rated: 6.0/10

El Pais (Spain)

A horror film with great production value. But perhaps neglected the essentials: the story, the screenplay, and the denouement. [Full review in Spanish]

Cinemanía (Spain)

An effective homeland terror that portrays a certain peripheral youth and that abounds in clichés and the urban legend. [Full review in Spanish]

Standard curse movie fare, think THE RING meets NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET.. But it is elevated by a likeable cast, empathetic characters, excellent film score, and a nice pace. The film took its time to establish the characters and their various relationships with side characters, when so many films like this just rush headlong from scare to scare to scare. Unfortunately, it's largely undone by its final scenes and none of those side characters really amount to anything. Even so, it's a very well-made film.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

He was very exciting and interesting to watch. The plot was well thought out and you always learn new things about the girl. It looks real and the characters gave good dynamics too. In all it's a great film, if a second comes along I would watch it too

I feel like it had potential, but the script, and some performances, were not good. another "horror" movie to the list of disappointments

Spain, late 80's. After returning from a nightclub, two girls find an old doll wearing a communion dress. The event awakes the ghost of a local girl who disappeared under creepy circumstances. The ghost intends to take revenge on those whose intolerance and ignorance revealed to be fatal to her. "The Communion Girl" is boringly predictable and unoriginal. An ordinary execution of very ordinary ideas.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Nice photography, good acting, just kind of slow and boring to get to the point. One hour into it, you will find yourself asking....why is this so slow?
