Completely forgettable.

We Still Say Grace (2020) follows the teen daughter of a religious fanatic who attempts to escape her father' suicide packed when a group of strangers break down near their home. This film a very basic 'crazy religious guy' story with absolutely no substance at all and even made me quite angry at points.

The acting wasn't great, and got gradually worse as the movie went on. It wasn't noticeable at first, but that changed quick. None of the characters were written in a likeable way either, and I didn't care for any of them. The dialogue was weak too which definitely didn't help.

The score was very generic sounding and didn't interest me. There was no interesting or effective sound design either, so there's not much to talk about. The whole movie felt so empty and hollow due to this, there was no attempt to build up horror.

For me, the film was dull from the start and made no attempt to be gripping. There was no scary or tense moments, it just feels so lifeless, like there's nothing to it. This movie didn't necessarily drag, but it wasn't intriguing in any way. A lot of the movie felt laughably bad, and the ending was just plain stupid and ridiculous.

The cinematography however, wasn't too bad, but in no way saves the film. There was a lot of potential with the cinematography, the colour palettes were nice to look at and there were some decent shots, but the story that went alongside it was just incredibly poor.
