Agnes

This movie is awful.. the acting,the story, just a waste of $7 and an hr and a half of my life. So forced and predictable and was kinda all over the place. Dont waste your time or money!

I was lured in to watching the 2021 horror drama "Agnes" on account of the movie having a rather interesting poster/cover, and also because the movie's synopsis sounded interesting. Sure, I hadn't even heard about this movie from writers Mickey Reece and John Selvidge prior to sitting down to watch it, so I had no idea what I was in for.

And boy, oh boy, this movie was a swing and a miss. Sure, it starts out okay and the first part of the movie, which takes place inside a confined convent was actually interesting, but then the movie nosedived and never recovered. What started out as an interesting horror movie ended up as an insanely boring drama about an ex-nun.

This movie from director Mickey Reece failed to entertain me or impress me. Sure, I enjoyed the first part of the movie, but it all unraveled when Sister Mary (played by Molly C. Quinn) upped and left the convent. At that point the movie just became pointless, and everything that director Mickey Reece had built up inside the convent segment just shattered like fragile porcelaine.

If you enjoy horror movies, like I do, don't succumb to the pitfall of sitting down to watch "Agnes", because this movie was a stinker. I wasted an hour and 33 minutes on this ordeal so you don't have to. But even the first part of the movie - the horror part in the convent - was pretty slow paced and never really came to any fruition, as it ended just as it started to become good.

My rating of "Agnes" lands on a most generous two out of ten stars. And what keeps the movie away from a single star rating is some adequate acting performances. But the script and storyline was just horrible, and the total change of genre along the way just broke the movie entirely.

"Agnes" is slow paced, and has an unfocused plot. There's not much happening, and events are not well developed. The ending is very weak. Overall, it is not scary and not engaging.

What the hell was that?

2 semi cool scenes of demonic possession and then, nothing. In fact, it is like a second movie started. No explanations, no real backstory, no resolution.

I am baffled.

No redeeming value. A few good performances but they had nothing to work with. I am really astounded at how this movie ever got to the production stage.

I feel ripped off. Avoid this.

Oh boy, nope...

2 different films. Neither of them is good enough, neither of them has a conclusion, neither of them seems to know what it wants to tell, except questioning faith and beliefs. At the end of the day, as a non-believer, this gave me something close to zero.
