Sacrilege

About This Movie

So, Sacrilege is this intriguing little horror piece from '88 that dives into the murky waters of cults and belief systems. The atmosphere is heavy, almost claustrophobic at times, which really sets the tone for the unraveling mystery. What’s interesting is the journalist protagonist—he gets pulled in, not just for the story, but there's this complicated romance with a cult member that adds a layer of tension and emotional depth. The pacing has its quirks; it lingers on moments of dread, making the viewer feel the weight of curiosity and fear. And the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add this gritty authenticity that feels right for the era. It’s definitely worth a look for its themes and the way it plays with the idea of love versus ideology.
