Se7en Meets The Excorsist

Caught this on Tubi, but couldn't find it on Amazon Prime for whatever reason? Who knows. Anyway. Grungy, gritty style permeates the picture. While it is a lower budget film, the unpolished nature is used to great effect. The filmmakers lean into the unsettling feeling while utilizing some fairly impressive locations (the church being the stand out). A treat for horror and thriller fans, this indie outing has a sinister edge that keeps you on your toes until the credits!

Story Driven Thriller

I was fortunate enough to see this Indie film in the big screen in downtown Los Angeles .

At its heart this film is more thriller than horror, though it has that as well.

It was very story driven which kept my interest throughout the film, the characters all served a purpose. At no point at the end of the film did I think that any character was pointless ( spoiler free review, you can watch this film on Tubi or Vimeo ).

If you like films in the style of Fincher or Shyamalan give this Indie film a try.

Thrilling Indie Tour de Force

While watching this film you get the sense you are seeing a future legend at work. Tyler Cole (Writer, Director, Lead Actor) delivers a genuine and nuanced performance. The whole cast is equally dedicated and all deliver wonderful performances. The story is intricate and magnetic, the flow of storytelling naturally pulls in the viewer. I recommend giving this hidden gem a watch. This is true independent cinema. Bravo !

A Very Fun Watch

Suspending reliance on strict fact will allow you enjoy this indie treasure. The filmmakers put a lot of effort and care into making this film look unique in spite of the lower budget. If they'd had higher funding, I can only imagine what they'd have been able to pull off. Practical effects and a passionate eye for the cinematographic approach make this rugged, dark film a thoroughly enjoyable watch.

Suspenseful and Chilling!

This film starts with a slow burn and builds to violent and shocking twists and turns. The suspense mounts along with the unsettling score as the sinister happenings of this Gotham-esque city unfold. Featuring an excellent performance by writer/director Tyler Cole.
