chaima r 08/18/2024 This is the worst movie I have ever seen, The story is not consistent and the acting is so poor, I do not understand how it got 91% on rotten tomato, it was so bad that my friend fell asleep. I couldn’t give it a zero so I gave it 0.5 See more Logan D 10/01/2023 After her father kills everyone in her family but her, a young woman joins a convent. Years later, she is still dealing with the demons that haunted him. Question, can someone entice 250 of their friends to submit positive ratings for their film on Rotten Tomatoes? You bet your popcorn they can! My wife tends to like films rated highly by the audience so we tried this one. Once it was over, she said, "what a waste of time." I told her she should've said something. I wouldn't have been offended. There are moments you think, okay, it's gonna get better, but it doesn't. And whomever the persons responsible for this film are they didn't have the slightest clue about the Catholic religion. Not recommended in the slightest. See more Francois M 05/18/2023 Incredibly weak horror movie. The positive reviews here are inexplicable. It's the horror genre I love most, and delivers almost nothing. The vox/vocals sound is horrible. The music is well done though. Visually adequate, but not shot especially well. The concept is good, but the writing is the very worst part. In a word: avoid. See more Cara B 10/20/2022 I had a difficult time finishing the movie. The acting was pretty terrible and the story didn't flow well. See more Alex 11/01/2020 There's no way in hell this movie is 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's some kind of mistake because literally every review on here is terrible. I wish I had read these reviews before watching! The movie doesn't make sense. I waited for the end hoping everything would be explained. The few sentences shown on the screen at the end just left me confused and frustrated. I should have known it wouldn't be a great movie when the very first lines of the movie had me thinking how bad the acting was. See more 11/01/2020 The creators of this movie must have rigged it somehow to get a 93 percent review score. It is horrible. Boring as all get out. Do not watch this. See more Read all reviews
