Majorthebys Charming and brutal

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

crunchycloset The start is good, the acting is good, but the end is empty, don't have a explanation, so yes it end very confuse!

Otkon Unless the Vatican had the world's earliest and smallest Hi-Def camera with built-in sound recording at their disposal - in 1960, this looks all wrong. The forced 4:3 aspect ratio, rounded vignette corners, and occasional faux sprocket hole appearances aren't enough to make one feel that this is truly old-time footage shot on gear and stock available at the supposed time period. They didn't even bother to add any grain, color or stutter effects to age the appearance. Did they not watch any cinéma vérité from the past to get an idea of what this should have looked like? Plus this is supposed to predate Cannibal Holocaust by 20 years; yet it looks insanely modern - as clear and decent as even the latest cellphone could shoot. And intermittent bulb issues to add spooky factor? Um. no. I mean there was a good and workable story of Satanic child sacrifice underneath this. The acting is panicky and professional. Had they just found some old 16mm cameras and shot it as a regular movie, I would have been more impressed. Plus of course it was the nuns.

beorhhouse I'm not big into found footage, but this one is sort of footage being shot, not found. The priests are genuine, not typical Hollywood Catholic priests. The Magdalene laundry was a real place, and it wouldn't surprise me if this kind of thing happened in those horror houses-there were more than one in Ireland until the early 1990s, I believe. You sort of know what is happening, but you still want to see it to the end. Very scary, a few minor jump scares, and one or two major ones. Ghoulish, hellish, and pure evil. And the fact that there is an atypical ending actually supports the integrity of the priests while bringing into stark relief the evil of the antagonists.

jtl12419 Yuk. The handheld camera technique (ala Cloverfield) needs to be banned for horror movies. When someone is chasing you with a chainsaw, one needs to turn off the video camera and stop taking selfies. Premise about the magdalene laundries and the horrible abuses that occurred under the Catholic Church, was a good start to the story. The camera work was distracting and motion sickness inducing, and really too silly and overused to be scary, and ruined what could have been a 4.5 star movie otherwise.
