Leave your thoughts about The Sacrament.
| TheHorrorShowScott WeinbergWhat some may see as "slow and uneventful storytelling" I see as "subtle and masterfully sustained suspense." |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyThe Sacrament is, like everything Ti West makes, solid and smart and well-calibrated, but out of his recent films, it would be the last of them that I'd return to for pleasure. |
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiIt's an intelligent, even challenging work, although not quite as crisp and frightening as The House of the Devil. |
| The PlaylistOliver LytteltonThe tension really is beautifully ramped up in these early scenes and gets an audience well prepped to watch carnage unfold around people you've truly come to care about. Then, when the thing goes off, it's not with a bang but with something more like a a whimper. |
| Fat Guys at the MoviesKevin CarrThe Sacrament is a chilling film that looks at the darkest side of human nature and what is truly capable in the hands of evil people. |
| SF CrowsnestFrank OchiengThis low-budget bungle-in-the-jungle chiller has a lot of smarts and perception about its organic fear-inducing impulses than most of its creepy contemporaries with a higher profile. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterThe Sacrament is worth a watch for fans of the director and cast, but its lack of purpose or anything to say limits its staying power dramatically. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanA masterclass in unsettling chills from West, lit up by another strong Seimetz turn. |
| CraveOnlineFred TopelIt is a suspenseful, thrilling movie that builds to a crescendo, but I don't want to spoil that part. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin Putman"The Sacrament" is strong stuff, a concise, provocative exhibition of how the words of one individual can pull such an influentially harmful sway over a group of vulnerable people searching for purpose. |
