I was surprised by how much I did actually like this movie. I was a little concerned that length and dual languages might deter my attention a little but not at all. The movie was very well done. The story moves along at a good pace and though you may see a little of the path there is still good creepiness along the way. Definitely worth the time and much better than many of the possession/horror movies out there and especially with a not very well known cast, to me anyway, other than Tobin Bell.

This movie has been on my watchlist for a while. I was so happy to finally see it come to Shudder! You think this movie is going to be one thing but it totally switches gears the second half. With a much bigger picture type of story. The last 10 min were a little cheesy but overall decent movie. I don't want to give anything away but if you like possession horror you'll like this one. Partially in subtitles but mostly in English.

Non wide-release horror films. I mean at least this one is genuinely a supernatural horror flick and not just a thriller disguised as one. Though the the "theological premise" is woefully outside the pale of orthodoxy if you chose to not try to analyze it this film is an enjoyable little diversion perfect for Saturday night on the couch.

I enjoyed this far more than I expected to. I love horror and thriller films and I am a bit of a junkie. I'd rather watch stuff from these categories than any other so I've seen a lot of good and a lot of bad. I give credit where I feel it is due. This film deserves a bit of credit.

I think the best part of the film is the idea or story of it. For me, it is unique. Out of all the religious horror films I've seen, this one took me by surprise and I like that. Now, it wasn't without it's problems. It took a bit of time to get it really going but once it did, I found it interesting.

I was only familiar with actor Tobin Bell, who plays the well known sadistic madman "Jigsaw" from the SAW film franchise. His role here was as the dark priest Vasilio Canetti. He played his role well but dark, creepy and reserved are sorta his thing. The other actors did a decent job as well but as I said, I wasn't familiar with any of them.

The scripting could've used some work. It would've benefited from a bit more detail but I am willing to overlook it for the most part. It also would've benefited from more actual horror. We didn't get to see enough from the darker side but that's just my opinion.

I'd recommend it for anyone who has a fondness for religious horror. Demons, possession, end of days and fear or lack of religious understanding is all something that might lean you towards this film. So, check it out if that's your thing.

Saw this gem at the Lincoln center scary movie festival in NYC. I was really impressed. Very entertaining. Never slowed down & the tension kept escalating to a very dramatic finale. I've seen it all when it comes a to demon / exorcism films but this one has some new stuff that surprised me. Some very entertaining and fun scenes. The story is a bit wild I admit but it's very original and you'll never be bored. One of the wildest exorcism scenes I've ever witnessed on film. Enjoy!
