The Parish

Full disclosure: I was a PA for a day on this (for those who don't know, PA's are the ones who run out to grab coffee, LOL). Being the cynic I once was, I expected to say "great job".

First, not only was the set absolutely professional but fun and the talent from the actors and filmmakers was incredible just to watch. Second only to the quality of a (good) Hollywood sets Second, by the end of the screening I was blown away by what had been created. From the first word written to the final rendering...friggin awesome. Writing, directing, cinematography and some of the best acting. I don't say this lightly because I'm the type that looks for a stinker to ruin it all.

I may have a small credit in this but this is exactly what makes me proud and humbled to even call myself a part of this caliber of talent.

Third, if you only see the surface you will never understand the depth of things.

The mother drinks wine all the time , and its perhaps the only way to suffer through this movie , the acting is good and effects are total okay , but the story is boring and stupid - also why must it be a nun every time in horror movies.

It's neither good nor bad, though probably only deserves 4.5 stars for as derivative and generic as it is. The acting wasn't terrible, but it was nothing to write home about. The story was bland and cliche, though it did pass the time well enough.

Can't complain that I watched it, but even as I'm typing this I've mostly forgotten the movie exists.

After a long journey in post production, we were thrilled to share this supernatural thriller, The Parish, to a packed regal cinema! There were laughs, jump scares, tears and applause. The Parish is more than ghosts, blood, and horrific nightmares (although it has those too), its about grief. A story about a wife losing her deployed husband, trying to raise her teen daughter while fighting her own demons. Bill Oberst Jr., as Father Felix, helps these badass women fight evil and renew their faith. This is a film that will keep you thinking after you leave the Theatre... and you may want to leave your bedside light on.

The film appears to have a great cast and is well acted but let down with a lack luster story and absolutely no sense of menace. Try the unholy if you want to see a film with religious connections in a similar vein that actually works and will give you a shivers down your spine.

Pass on this one or watch it if your really interested in the 9/10 score.
