Northern Ireland, 1960: Father Thomas Riley and Father John Thornton are dispatched by the Vatican to investigate reports of a miracle, a statue of the Virgin Mary weeping blood, at a remote Catholic asylum for immoral women. Armed with 16mm film cameras to record their findings, the priests instead discover a depraved horror show of sadistic nuns, satanism and demonic possession. Supernatural forces are at work here, but they are not the doing of God.

here's a note for the writers/director: if the best dialogue you can come up with is someone shouting another person's name over and over again, perhaps you should go back to your day job.

As far as "found footage" horror movies, it was more towards the good end of the spectrum. Got pretty slow towards the end. Not enough.

Starts okay but goes down badly by the middle and goes terrible in the end. Glad it was shorter because it was loosing grip of the viewers.

Really strong story buoyed up by amazing performances all round. Could have done with an extra half hr or so to flesh out some of the finer points, but well worth a watch.

Aislinn Clarke's confident and sinister debut...[is] more concerned with her three principal characters and their twisting moral ambiguities than it is in unleashing a bunch of nonsensical cheap scares.

Rated: 3/4

Screen International

Two strong leads, the doubting priest Lalor Roddy and the Nurse Ratchet-like Mother Superior played with gusto by Helena Bereen, help distinguish this Exorcist update and mark Clarke as a talent to watch.

Despite its brief running time, the movie feels dragged out; like the priests, it will eventually lose its way.

This film is so predictable and it doesn't even bother to cover its own tracks.

Rated: 5/10

Ready Steady Cut

Two priests investigate a miracle at a Magdalene Laundry in 1960 Ireland and meet something evil in a beautifully made but ultimately messy film.

This doorway opens up to find real-life horrors that may be more disturbing than killer nuns and secret lairs.
