The Inverted Cross

About This Movie

So, The Inverted Cross from '85 is one of those films that kind of slips through the cracks. It's got this heavy, somber tone that really immerses you in its world. The pacing is slow, but I think it’s intentional, allowing the viewer to really dwell on the themes of faith and doubt. There are some practical effects, not groundbreaking, but they have a raw quality that fits the overall vibe. The performances, while not from big names, carry a weight to them that adds to the unsettling atmosphere. It’s distinctive for its stark portrayal of internal conflict, not your typical drama. Definitely one to discuss over a drink, if you can track it down.
