I liked the movie very much. So dark and till the end you cannot understand what is the final. In movie there are some clues but you have to watch very carefully. Actually when it is not in English, I really cannot follow but for this movie it is necessary. Good for 2022 and it was different story, I liked the end, message was so clear. Actually there are several messages in it. I will not say this is a horror movie but it has super tension. Highly recommend to watch but really you have to watch with all eyes.. By the way visual effects are also super nice. I can say I like the actings too. Very good.
Not a great movie, but still the best horror movie i have watched the last 2 years, except for "WHAT JOSIAH SAW". But this, unlike JOSIAH, is a pure horror movie. There are twists, some are predictable and one i didn't see it coming. Acting is good, especially for a horror movie. It's much scarier than watching a masked-face man killing others. I got scared watching this and the ending made it even scarier, in retrospect.
In any case, this is a polarising ending. For sure, some people will dislike the whole movie because of it. I don't wanna spoil it, therefore i won't say anything about the ending, but if you are looking for a real horror movie, not a comedy horror, not mindless fun, i believe that you will like it.

Having seen no trailer of this, I've decided to do some mix and match with The Cabinet of Curiosities and I like this better than the first 4 episodes of that show (Lot 36, Graveyard Rats, The Autopsy, The Outside). The monastery in this movie felt lived-in and authentic compared to the obvious movie sets in that Guillermo del Toro show. Although both of these are disgusting so try not to eat during it.
This movie started a little slow and obvious but there are twists and turns along the way to keep you going. Not much characterization beyond the 3 or 4 names that are mentioned in the movie but no matter, the plot (and the title) is what draws the viewer interest anyways.
As for the ending, yes they did go there. It's divisive for sure but I like it and I find it appropriate.
All in all, a decent watch for Halloween season. Much better than I expected and much better than those cheap Blumhouse horror flicks.

This one is actually good. There is a gloomy and creepy mood all over and it haunts you, till the real horror begins. Don't underestimate this polish movie because it is not Hollywood or because some found it lame. Give it a try. The film contains spooky elements combined with slashy/ gory ones, so be warned.
The story is there, there are those ghastly (lost places) elements and the actors and the filming crew are doing a good job.
I don't know why people reduce movies like that to their limits. Our world is full of artificial people and films, let's get back to the roots where cgi wasn't everything. 10/10.

I have no words to describe what I just saw. I am a horror fan, I have watched many movies but trust me you have never seen an ending like this! The scenery, the acting, the atmosphere are all there. The effects are top notch!
I don't understand the rating as it is an original amazing movie, something that we rare see these days. It is slow at the beginning but it builds up to reach the climax!
I agree with the other reviewers that it is indeed one of the best horror of the year!
Of course watch it with the original language.
I recommend it for those who like cults, exorcism and the battle of evil vs God!

- GoofsIf there is no electricity in the monastery, how do they charge the battery in the camcorder used during the exorcism? This is clearly one lie amongst many told to the protagonist. There are electric lights in the abbot's quarters as well as other luxuries.
