The Veil

THE VEIL was one of my most anticipated movies of this year and a big reason why was Rebekah Kennedy. She has quickly become a favorite of mine in this genre. The role she took on here she really put her ALL into it and you see that really early on. The film is like nothing I've ever seen before so its unique originality kept me immersed throughout and once I realized what was happening I was pretty blown away! Sean O' Bryan also gave a brilliant performance playing a retired priest. I highly recommend THE VEIL to anyone who loves horror science fiction with a great twist reveal. I look forward to Rebekah Kennedys future work!

This story didn't quite develop in the way I expected, so it kept me intrigued.

The build up to the twist was at a slower pace, but it didn't become uninteresting.

Rebekah Kennedy has a magnetism about her that pierces through in every role that she plays, and her versatility is impressive.

Sean O'Bryan was compelling and strong in his performance as well. The two actors have terrific chemistry.

The cinematography was ominous and beautiful. I always appreciate the use of intense color and light contrasting in film. The green filter was a pleasant touch to create a more sinister energy.

It was overall a good film. A mysterious and hopeful tale about absolution.

An enjoyable moody mystery about a retired priest who regrets not helping a girl 40 years ago. It's a slow burn character study about wishing to change the past and by some magic of the celestial stars he gets to change his past. There are some jump scares but it's not a horror movie. It's an emotional drama about two people who crossed paths by chance and the priest was too scared to help her at that time but gets a chance at redemption. It's part sci-fi mystery drama that's worth a watch and is only an hour long so pacing is perfect. Watch it for the cinematography and acting. Well done for a low budget single location drama.

This is a very clever film which slowly draws you in to an increasingly complex midnight mystery. What starts out as an apparently simple case of a young Amish girl lost in the woods, possibly fleeing something or someone, winds through layer after layer of suspense where initial mis-steps or phrases mis-spoken are actually keys to unlocking a deeper mystery of time and space. This one is like a set of Matrioska dolls, a puzzle inside of a riddle inside of an enigma. The further you go, the deeper the mystery gets. What you thought you were watching turns out not to be the mystery or the problem at all. Rebekah Kennedy is wonderful as the lost Amish girl and the story just sucks you in. If you liked Coherence, Primer or Triangle then you'll love this one.

This is a neat horror/thriller movies that is well filmed and very well acted. Relying on the strengths of its two leads, Rebekah Kennedy and Sean O'Brian.

At first I was not entirely sure of what was happening, but when I finally realised, it was a brilliant twist and it all fell into place.

The atmosphere and mood of the film was perfect and I loved the low key tension of it all.

In a way, this is a redemption story as well of a story about regrets and wanting to make wrongs right, so to speak.

This is a movie that may not be for everyone, some might find it a trifle slow, but it is ultimately rewarding.
