Holy Terror

Holy Terror 2017 director by Rich Mallery, produced by Gregory Hatanaka was something I did not expect. I was thrilled with the action and cinematography. Mel Novak far exceeded by expectations with his portrayal of Father Murphy. Realism is key for me. Vida Ghaffari as Hayley did that effortlessly. Jesse Hlubik who played Tom made me think of the subtle affects one can have on the imagination. All in all I liked it and have already recommended it to my friends and family.

People standing around in a dark room talking and whimpering is 90% of the film. There is just no substance, no forward progress through the film, it is a standstill from the first second until the last. This is a sit on the couch and look at your phone type movie, wonder why you watched it and forget it the moment it is over.

First off ignore ALL the fake reviews and ratings this film has received. They're very easy to spot due to their strange wording and overly high praise of the director/producer, in spite of the terrible direction.

Following the high IMDb reviews I checked this film out. I've seen more or less every horror in existence, including many awful movies... This one takes the cake.

The opening scene showed promise, decent acting and very dark. Unfortunately it is all downhill from there. The main couple have absolutely zero chemistry, the dialogue is completely unnatural, camera work is choppy and the score is so over the top. It doesn't help that nobody can act AT ALL... Like high school level shy drama kids. That or the director has butchered any talent they have.

I managed to stick with it until the first "attack" incident and lost it. The acting, awful score that kicks in and all the terrible reactions... I just couldn't handle it anymore. It became very apparent that the IMDb score was fake and we had to the movie off.

Bear in mind that I have watched many over-explained horrors full of baffling moments such as Lights Out and low budget messes like Camp Blood.

Save yourself 20 minutes and watch something else. It isn't even "so bad it's good/watchable".

Omg, omg. Hahaha.

Where did the high ratings come from? False ratings again I think.

What a terrible movie.

Think of Insidious, The Conjuring and a few other horror movies thrown into the mix.

Acting was way below par, no flights at all in the movie. All the short hopeless sex scenes were all done clothed, go figure. Just because the actors and a actresses have a no nude scene contract, well don't put the sex scenes in the movie. You don't need them. Everything in this morning was bad, no redeeming features at all. Go and re-watch the two previous movies I have already mentioned.

Idk what they were going for with this one, but I never made it to the halfway mark. Don't waste your time with this film- trust me!
