must watch ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

The film has a story based on sexual violence to children, pedophilia and incest. Acting is terrible almost amateurish, while its low budget nature is obvious. Dakota Fanning is pathetic, she must be really desperate, to land a role in such a horrific sick flick. Someone give her a role in a C movie to save her career. The Director has done a really awful job, it was apparent that in order to hide his incompetence, he resorted on the good old trick of gruesome, horror style violence against women, teenagers and children as young as 5-6 years old who are raped, tortured, and killed. I am sure that my 15 year old nephew could have done a much better job in building this story without the necessity of nauseating the audience. If you are a sadist or a misogynist or a pedophile maybe you will enjoy the film, all others stay away and watch a TV shopping channel, for sure it will be far more entertaining...

This movie was a good movie in my opinion. The story was well- constructed, the themes were relevant and compelling and the acting was extraordinary, especially the reverent and Dakota Fanning (saw her in American pastoral too the other day, she is a force to be reckoned with in the acting world). So yes, this is a good movie. But would I recommend watching it to any of my friends or family? No, probably not, because although it was a good movie it made me feel horrible afterwards (as in crying in the bathroom horrible), and this is coming from someone who has seen her fair share of horrors and thrillers throughout the years. I don't know why, but there was something so incredibly heart-wrenching about this movie for me that i have barely slept last night. It was not because of the graphic violence per se, although it didn't help of course, but just because of the atmosphere created throughout the movie. So if you are planning on watching keep in mind that it is not for the faint-hearted (I feel like Albus Dumbledore warning about the Triwizard tournament lol)

what's the point of making such rubbish? if it was titled as a horror flic - i could understand, people who are into horror movies would go and watch it. So, why create such a useless film? to disgust us? to show us to what level of stupidity the writer can get? You learn nothing from this rubbish, you dirty your soul with idiotism beyond belief, Martin Koolhoven managed to show us that HE is as sick as can be. The whole film you will just sit and wonder why it was made, and who was stupid enough to write this puke.

I have never seen a film like this, one split into two very distinct dichotomous halves. Acts one and two are good, bordering on excellent. The plot is thoroughly intriguing, suspenseful and well paced, neither painfully slow nor hurriedly fast. I really liked the foundation being laid out both in terms of what and how. Fanning's character comes across as genuinely vulnerable in a refreshingly original way and it is clear Joanna is a woman with a difficult past. Pearce's character, the reverend, is the polar opposite, giving his character a real sense of menace with a skillfully understated performance. At the mid-point, I thought 'Wow! This is like "The Crucible" meets "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." I was thoroughly gripped. And then... In the second half, all the good work is undone. The story verges on the ridiculous at points as the film tries to explain how the characters had ended up at this point and thrusts us towards a pantomime resolution. There is a sense of overkill about all of this and I began to feel disorientated because of expedient plot and role twists. I am not exaggerating when I say I was speechless as the credits rolled. I wish I liked this film more, for the sake of all those involved in its making. If anything, the story of the making of this film seems far more dramatic and interesting than the film itself. It's such a shame.
