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.

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.

Nice little Indy horror not too much blood and definitely enough mystery to keep me curious. It definitely has all the elements scary nuns, mysterious happenings and helpful priests. If you want the scare without the stress inducing nerves this is definitely worth a watch.
This movie is not horrible. It's a bit slow, the acting isn't great and the story doesn't get explained excactly. There are a couple of jumpscares but other then those there really isn't much of a horror in it. And that brings me to the biggest issue I had with the movie - the sound balance. You can either hear speaking and have your ears explode or not hear any speaking and not have your ears explode. I don't get why is it so hard to balance the sound effects properly.
I really tried watching this. Made it through 1/3 of it still no scares. Looks like everybody who worked on the film jumped on here and gave it a stellar undeserved review. I have when that happens. I only gave it a 3 because the acting was decent and they tried. Can't knock people for trying.
