Not even the batshit wild last 3/4 movie was can redeem it from the crock leadup and middling tension attempts
The delirium of the sect goes very far and I liked it, until we get to the end which becomes a less good film than expected, making it an imperfect film.
really really enjoyed this cant believe all the 1 skulls to be honest? kept me on my toes the whole time with really nice atmosphere as well. . . . 4 Skulls for sure!
Don't worry--nothing happens to the rabbit. What kept me immersed in the movie was the mood. Pure dread, and the settings fed into that as well. However, so much wasn't developed or explained. A lot of what happened was thrown in for effect, and there was no follow-up. I must say, better choices on the part of the main character than Rosemary made in that movie. Of course, I'd have stuck around with Ruth Gordon.
Not as strong as Soavi's previous film, "The Church" (also on Shudder at the time of writing, and highly recommended), but it's still a good weird time, and has some moments of strange brilliance. There's also a bit where a rabbit channel-surfs using its paw, so yeah, this has that going for it.
