The Offering (2022) takes a new shape in this terror/suspense movie with a lot of intrigue, terror, thriller, twists and turns. It begins with some intriguing words: ¨In the myths of the Middle East and Europe there is a terrifying female demon, represented in amulets, paintings and stories since the first century after Christ. It has thousands of names in various languages and religions, but it has a single terrifying tribute: The child stealer¨. This is a chilling supernatural thriller in which Evil lurks, eager to take over the children. In The Offering, the son , Arthur ( Nick Blood), of the owner -Saul (Allan Corduner)- of a Jewish funeral home goes to his father's house, along with his pregnant wife (Emily Wiseman) , to reconcile with him, and get the money necessary to pay off his debts. However, in the morque located beneath his father's house, an ancient demon hopes to take the soul of his unborn child. Things go wrong, when they discover cryptic marks, horrible demonic circles weird symbols, as well supernatural phenoma and poltergeists successively happening. No soul is safe!.
Horror fairy tale whose original title for the film was "Abyzou" , being consistently paced, and finely played by starring duo : Nick Blood and Emily Wiseman and with a lot of screems, gore , twists and turns. The Offering (2022) is a creepy, claustrophobic and scary low- budget horror movie. A twisted plot in which a marriage and the elderly father become involved into a supernatural intrigue resulting in plunging themselves deeper and deeper towards a world of impossible occurrences and equally inexplicable findings .The screenplay is mediocry written and the tension increases as long as the mystery about 'Abizou' is disclosed . The film is average but passable, the potential of the theme being wasted on some Jewish customs, the Torah, Yiddish language and other Hebrew arcana that combined with the eerie morgue events and supernatural demons could have created even an explosive result, however this falls short. Weird terror movie that's heavy on fantastic happenings and gory scenes with acceptable though completely inside production design, colorful though dark cinematography and decent but no excessive special effects, incuding gruesomely vivid guts .
It contains adequate cinematography with plenty of darkness by Lorenzo Senatore. As well as thrilling, frightening and suspenseful musical score by composer Christopher Young who's an expert on sinister atmosphere as proved in: The Tall Man, Drag Me to Hell, Sinister , Untraceable, The Uninvited, The Ghost Maker, Dominion and several others . The motion picture was regular but professionally directed by Oliver Park. This is a good director with a short but interesting career with penchant for Chillers and Horror movies. He has played, written or directed a few films with no much hits, such as: The Dare, Horizon, Strange Events (2014), Still (2017), Solar Impact (2019) ,A Night of Horror: Nightmare Radio (2019). Rating: 5.5/10. Only for horror fans. Average but passable.

This really was your average, run of the mill horror flick. Reminded me of a mix between "The Vigil" and "The Autopsy of Jane Doe". Not as good as either of those... but still successful to a degree in its own right.
I would say where this lacked the most would be in originality. The movie looked great - beautiful shots, lighting and atmosphere...the script was good, the acting was solid, the pacing was decent/kept you engaged, and yet still... it just wasn't all that enthralling.
Entertaining? Yes. It just didn't excite me all too much. Not to mention it relied a lot on jump scares. I think if they had chilled on those and focused on making it authentically creepier, finessed the storyline a bit by attempting to infuse some originality into it with less cliche horror tropes I think that would have helped immensely.
But again, this was still entertaining, just don't go into it expecting to see a modern day cinematic horror masterpiece. It's a fun, casual watch. I give this a 5.5 rounding up to a 6. Would recommend.

I knew when I sat down to watch this, that I wasn't in for a masterpiece.
That being said, I was still left a bit disappointed with how reliant on (predictable) jump scares and the classic "eery soundtrack" this movie was.
At times it felt like a knock off of The Conjuring movies, with judaic lore sprinkled in to give it a semblance of originality.
If the characters had been more developed and they had been less indulgence on generic tropes, it might have been a movie worth rewatching.
All that being said, it wasn't a bad movie either. The special effects are well done, and the set design is above average. I also enjoyed the attention to detail in some scenes.
If you like possession films I think you'll enjoy this one!
As it stands it's an okay movie to watch at home in the couch with a large bowl of popcorn, and maybe some hot sauce to bring the spice this piece is lacking.

The plot was not properly explained, the backstory was not clear either. It's like watching a snippet of the end of a different movie, it just started and then it ended. I don't know what happened or why it happened. But that doesn't mean I didn't watch it til end. The horror was good it had the potential to be scary. Not a fan of jump-scares though, and this one had far too many. The concept itself I think was unique, but showing the demon as a scary monster in a well lit room did not make it as scary as it could've been. Regardless, it was a nice watch 5.2 is a little lower, it was not that bad.
Saw this film at an early screening, was really surprised to find en emotionally charged studio horror film w a lot of heart wrapped in barbed wire. This film makes you scream out loud, cry at certain moments, and even laugh. The end packs a sick twist and I'm very curious to see how horror fans dissect it. There were a couple moments that perhaps leaned a bit too hard on jumpscares but overall you can really feel the genuine love and care from its filmmakers. I wasn't going to leave a review but after the q&a I realized this film is much deeper than i realized and so wanted to pay my respects. Special mention to Game of Throne's Paul Kaye who just killed it!
