Agnes

People are right when they say only the first half is a conventional horror. It was weird, tongue-in-cheek, and perhaps even sorta entertaining horror. But then the second half emerges, and it feels like a completely new film. A more dramatic sequel, some might suggest. But absolutely not the film you started watching. And Lord, it was insufferable.

I spent a great deal of time trying to figure what in the world was that. The truth is that it was a horrible script made into an unnecessary, not scary, brain-damaging garbage helmed by one of the worst directing I've even had a displeasure to witness. The greatest mystery is how main actors agreed to participate. It's not that the budget was huge or creators were well-known and respected. Why was it made? Why had I punished myself by watching it completely although it became painful past the first hour? If you love Jesus or decent horror firms, avoid Agnes like a burning dumpster.

This movie is awful.. the acting,the story, just a waste of $7 and an hr and a half of my life. So forced and predictable and was kinda all over the place. Dont waste your time or money!

The first section of AGNES plays out like your standard exorcism flick, complete with a disgraced veteran priest, an eager rookie, and a couple of mismatched nuns, including one who is allegedly possessed.

Then the film switches, without warning, to the future where Mary, friend of the possessed title character, has left the convent and is trying to find her way in the world among sleazy bosses and a muppet-looking stand up comic.

Packaged as a horror film, AGNES is more of a serious drama on religious contemplation, with the exorcism section acting as a prologue, and hence I don't think too many horror fans will be happy with it. As a quirky drama it's fine, and the goofy Father Black is worthy of his own film, but as it is AGNES is a case of either false advertising, or perhaps was packaged as a horror film as the distributor had no idea how to label it.

For nun/exorcism completists only.

This movie was so disappointing that I had to review it. Starts off slow and creepy, then just dissolves into meandering, plotless nothing and then ends. I honestly can't even pinpoint a climax, and I didn't feel like it gave enough explanation for the things that did happen. Like sex where someone nibbles your earlobe and you're like, okay, this is going to be a good time, then they just nibble your earlobe for an hour and a half and you're like... I feel stupid for letting you do this.

"Agnes" is slow paced, and has an unfocused plot. There's not much happening, and events are not well developed. The ending is very weak. Overall, it is not scary and not engaging.
