Sacrilege

Treelove, druidism and british folklore of the past, not stonehengian past but somewhere inbetween the solstices of human existence, where the god of nature must be fed with the human power and sacrifice, where bark masks and the size of the antlers decides your coming destiny, and huffin puffing weed makes the green green grass of home look like the fields of vlanders, and the hallucinations ques up into a shroomlike storm of nightmarish peculiars that diminishes the crew of four into one and so on... well this is how the storyline comes to me, with loads of lack and inconsistecies and not within the realms of common idolartry.

so even though bad story and plot, and just of the hinges acting, there are some cute intersections of visual gore and effects that lifts this film up from the quagmire and falls into a three outta ten from the grumpy old man. the intro really nurtures your curiosity, i just wish there where more of the same calibre...

I don't know who's giving this film good reviews..it was awful. The bar for British horror is clearly not set very high going by how well received it been by some reviewers. The film has a very promising opening sequence but it very quickly goes downhill with woefully written dialogue, not the best acting (though how much of that is down how the cast were directed to perform) and a predictable sparse over-trodden storyline. The main cast are all 'hot' young women with little thought taken to giving them any kind of character other than the superficial female stereotypes. I take it that this is the first movie from this director/screenwriter so I will cut them some slack (I gave two stars rather than the one it really merits) but they really need to do their background work on how women actually behave and interact with each other if they ever want their films to be taken seriously. It would be a passable movie if made in 1974 but not 2020. Come on get your act together you can do better than this...

How many times can they rework this dead donkey?

Friends - family - office mates - weekend warriors, you name it. They all go off to the woods and meet up with... you guessed it Zombies, or Manic Bikers, or as in this case Cult followers. What a waste of effort and there wasn't much of that either.

Do yourself a favour and go and watch someone painting their fence.

I'm not usually compelled to write reviews but this film is worthy of special mention. Quite simply the worst, most amatuerish, poorly acted and woefully written film I have seen in a VERY long time. And yes. I've seen Cats. Not one single redeeming feature can be found in this. Is this a spoof? Surely someone somewhere is pulling my chain with this? Laughable characters in laughable situations taking laughable actions. Written by an imbecile for imbeciles. I feel cheated that 83mins of my time was spent watching this. I NEVER leave the cinema. I have learnt my lesson now. From now on I'll be a walker. Some things just deserve derision. I feel a fool. You got me. And that is the real Sacrilege.

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.
