This movie is great.

For a long time watching it I didn't really know where it was going, that can be a bad thing in a movie but it always kept hooked so you wanted to understand.

When it finally hit me what was going on I was even more hooked.

I think it deals with its core themes of metal health and religion excellently and I think it explores perfectly what can happen when those two things interlock. I also loved how it displayed how far people will go for religion and how scary that can be.

I really loved the area it was shot it. It just looked really nice and added to the sort of creepy atmosphere.

The script is incredibly sharp and understands it's characters really well. This paired amazingly well with the acting which was great too.

Also the score was really creepy and strange. This is a strange movie but it is so interesting.

The only issue I found was that because it's so slow there are areas that seem to dip, never enough for you to loose interest. Just kind of slows even more than normal.

Definitely watch this movie. You might have to be patient with it but it is worth it.
