The Veil

This is a neat horror/thriller movies that is well filmed and very well acted. Relying on the strengths of its two leads, Rebekah Kennedy and Sean O'Brian.

At first I was not entirely sure of what was happening, but when I finally realised, it was a brilliant twist and it all fell into place.

The atmosphere and mood of the film was perfect and I loved the low key tension of it all.

In a way, this is a redemption story as well of a story about regrets and wanting to make wrongs right, so to speak.

This is a movie that may not be for everyone, some might find it a trifle slow, but it is ultimately rewarding.

This movie is very captivating and spooky! Rebekah Kennedy shines, move over Christina Ricci and Danielle Harris and make room for another scream queen! Sean O' Bryan also holds the story very well as a man who has been hoping for a second chance. It keeps the audience hanging on with so many questions, who is she, where did she come from, what's with the lights in the sky, why does she keep running from a man who just wants to help her?

If you are in the mood for a film that keeps you guessing with a lot of eerie mystery and a twist ending you never would guess, you cannot go wrong here!!!!!

I have no idea who are writing the overflowing positive reviews for this film if they are somehow involved in the production or have ties with Rebekah Kennedy, but it's safe to say that we saw two different movies.

The positive thing about the movie is the scenery, and lighting. The acting is OK, a bit over the top at some parts, but OK overall.

The movie is a bit slow with things getting interesting at the 40 minute mark, not good for a film that's just over an hour long. Once things pick up, you can quickly piece together what's going on and that there's going to be a "Twist" ending which you see a mile away. With harder work on the story, I think this film would have been better and not full of itself in my honest opinion.

An enjoyable moody mystery about a retired priest who regrets not helping a girl 40 years ago. It's a slow burn character study about wishing to change the past and by some magic of the celestial stars he gets to change his past. There are some jump scares but it's not a horror movie. It's an emotional drama about two people who crossed paths by chance and the priest was too scared to help her at that time but gets a chance at redemption. It's part sci-fi mystery drama that's worth a watch and is only an hour long so pacing is perfect. Watch it for the cinematography and acting. Well done for a low budget single location drama.

THE VEIL was one of my most anticipated movies of this year and a big reason why was Rebekah Kennedy. She has quickly become a favorite of mine in this genre. The role she took on here she really put her ALL into it and you see that really early on. The film is like nothing I've ever seen before so its unique originality kept me immersed throughout and once I realized what was happening I was pretty blown away! Sean O' Bryan also gave a brilliant performance playing a retired priest. I highly recommend THE VEIL to anyone who loves horror science fiction with a great twist reveal. I look forward to Rebekah Kennedys future work!
