Acedia

About This Movie

Acedia is one of those films that creeps under your skin—set on a sprawling, decaying estate, it's all about six priests trying to exorcise a troubled teenage girl. But it's not just her demons they're dealing with; the atmosphere is thick with tension, as the priests begin to confront their own inner demons. The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, which adds to the dread hanging in the air. Practical effects are used effectively here, lending a tangible quality to the horror that CGI just can't capture. It’s the kind of movie that lingers, making you ponder themes of faith, guilt, and those secrets we keep buried. A distinctive piece in the horror genre for sure, even if it’s not widely known.
