About
If you like grim, slow-building religious horror with a historical edge, this may work for you, especially if Rosemary's Baby or The Nun II appealed; Not for you if you want fast scares or a fresh format.
Pros: eerie religious setting; strong lead performances; unsettling real-world backdrop | Cons: familiar found-footage beats; slow early pacing; some shaky visuals
