- FenrisfilOctober 4, 2025The best occult horror since The Devil Rides Out. What is perhaps most fascinating is the accuracy of the rituals. They really researched the kind of things the Golden Dawn and Alistair Crowley would have gotten up to and it gives a feeling of realism to the story, making it feel all the more unsettling. The other impressive thing is the character journey of the protagonist. Very well done. But this is a slow burn, atmospheric horror. Not everyone will appreciate it.
- Andy Davidson | folknhell.comAugust 18, 2025An immensely powerful depiction of grief and the decisions people take to find closure. A sense of impending disaster grows as Sophia embarks on a dangerous journey towards revenge. The closing scenes are staggeringly realised. A slow-burning descent into madness.
- Nicholas FlorioJanuary 27, 2026This was a great movie. It was a very different kind of horror movie. I was particularly drawn to the ideas that weren't spoken so much as observed. The need for repentance, the power struggles and ideological systems that are 1000's of years old. This movie actually gets a lot of things right when it comes to strongholds, powers and principalities. I found it really interesting.
- marshalseaMarch 6, 2025This is a difficult watch, but worth it. If youve seen Oram in nice mode his performance here as an utterly unlikeable scumbag is award winning, genuinely fantastic performance. You're not meant to like him, he's unlikeable, he knows it himself. He's an abusive parasite on a woman lost in grief, played again brilliantly by Walker. Definitely stick with it the pacing is a little off, but the tension is a slow build up to a fantastic pay off. Theres a genuine story here, please stick with it. Why Liams not been given another wad of cash is beyond me.
- NiztradamusAugust 10, 2025Really good horror flick! It's a more realistic take on incantations. The last few minutes bump it down from a four star rating for me, because I think they could have done sooo much more and better with the last couple of scenes but this is a movie that made even me, as a hardened horror fan slightly jump at one particular spot. That hasn't happend to me in well over a decade. It's slow... You need to understand that going in. Don't expect a The Conjouring type movie that goes from one scare to the next but the atmosphere is outstanding.
