Sakrileg - Stell dich deiner Angst

This movie definitely had the ability to be a bit of fun, but it just becomes very boring very quickly.

When watching movies with low budgets, you have to leave room to appreciate the movie for the story, the acting, originality, etc. But this movie doesn't really have any of that. It's very slow, and basically nothing happens in the first hour of the movie, save a couple of things that the characters brush off.

I think this movie deserves more than one star because, after all, they did *try* to make something happen here, the actors weren't terrible, and even though this movie is pretty bad, there are worse movies out there.

NO SPOILERS as there's nothing to spoil.

Beginning-not bad. Mid-average. End-weak. Acting-terrible However, if you want to see some fit girls wearing very little occasionally, give it a go. That's probably the only thing that made me see it through.

I don't know if there's a book called Horror Films for Dummies, but if there is, it would contain a list of typical ingredients for such a production: Bunch of friends; Isolated location; Creepy locals; Lack of phone signal (a necessary 21st century addition); Blurred lines between reality and illusion; Gruesome deaths; Contrived ending.

This film - which sort of aims to be Friday 13th meets The Wicker Man - contains all of the above. The result, however, is distinctly less than the sum of its parts.

As far as I can make out, everyone involved - writer, director, producer, cast - are new in the business. And it shows. The cast do their best with the strictly limited material they've been given, but the writing and the direction let them down terribly. The McGuffin ending is particularly unsatisfying.

I hope that those involved go on to better things - and manage to forget this amateurish effort.

Looking for a schlocky horror movie for some dumb laughs and "Don't go in the basement, you idiot!" moments?

THIS IS NOT IT. AVOID.

Aside from a few gorgeous helicopter shots that probably cost half the film's budget (and they really milk 'em every chance they get), there's really nothing redeeming about this. You won't get this hour and a half of your life back. Please heed my words and don't let my sacrifice be in vain 🙏🏻

Side note: as an actual pagan, I haven't once been invited to wear a bark mask and hold a torch as part of an intimidating silent mob. Please contact me, I'm available and eager.

I must admit that I was lured in by the movie's cover, it's title and its interesting enough synopsis. And of course the fact that I hadn't already seen this 2020 movie also made me want to watch it.

And wow, "Sacrilege" was a swing and a miss. In fact, you could say that the movie's title actually summarize what this movie actually is.

The storyline told in "Sacrilege", as written by writer and director David Creed was just about as interesting as reading the phonebook from cover to cover. The storyline and script here just was unfathomably bland and uneventful.

As for the acting in "Sacrilege", well it was mediocre at best. So you will not find yourself in for an evening of Shakespearian thespian performances here, no, not even remotely. Some of the ladies that were in the movie just put on performances that made me cringe and curl my toes in disbelief.

While the storyline was devoid of anything overly interesting or captivating, then the movie was also lacking things that were even remotely scary.

This movie was, essentially just about a group of people that came to crash hard on some bad hallucinatory weed, and then writer and director David Creed tried to lace it with some religious undertones.

For a horror movie then "Sacrilege" was a bland and boring movie.

My rating of "Sacrilege" lands on a two out of ten stars. I managed to sit through the entire ordeal, hoping that the movie would become better along the way. But it just never did. And the ending of the movie just felt like a slap in my face for having sat through about an hour and a half of absolute boredom.
