Too Ideological
14 July 2018
I wanted to like this film, but the blatant anti-Catholic feminist nature of the dialogue ruined what could have been a reasonable effort in the realm of "found footage" material. I am NOT Catholic, nor religious, and I know what Irish women of "low" birth were once subjected to in places such as the one portrayed in this film, but being set in 1960, much of the dialogue seems to come right out of 2018, so it simply doesn't work well. No surprise the director is female and therefor determined to shame the Catholic church. But she's cut off her nose despite her face in making such an ideological film. The main problem being that the viewer can't really get past the ideology and focus on the actual horror scenes.
