Sacriledge is a film i really tried to like but it was a disaster. I understand independent and low budget films can only do so much with story, budgets, location etc. but I feel like even if it had everything it could afford it would still struggle.
The first twenty minute is the hardest to get through. I think that's because of the actors. They come off as first time actors (not in a good way), so the depth to their roles are limited. However all of their actors get better as the film progresses along.
The film is not even 80 minutes and whilst pacing isn't an issue at all. It has a story which doesn't have much meat to it and an abrupt ending which makes you feel like you just wasted your time.
However there are some aspects to like. The score was great and the directing was surprisingly good. The horror aspect is there but sometimes it's barely reaches the quality of amateurish. It has a few decent moments in terms of horror but doesn't execute them well.
I did enjoy it once the film got going and with the budget it had, it did do a decent job. The effects were decent mostly.
It just overall goes nowhere and it just feels like a movie you will find on the horror channel. It's one to avoid.
