Useless ! A complete waste of time ! Couldn't continue watching. More like a crime movie than horror. Don't waste your time.

Consecration (2023) is a new movie recently added to Shudder. The storyline follows a young lady whose brother recently died while serving as a priest in a remote church in Scotland. The story of his death seems odd so she sets out with a priest from the Vatican to the church to see if she can uncover what happened. She discovers some strange practices and behaviors by the church. She also starts seeing things from her past buried deep inside her. This movie is directed by Christopher Smith (Triangle) and stars Jena Malone (The Neon Demon), Danny Huston (The Aviator), Ian Pirie (The Last Duel), Janet Suzman (Anthony and Cleopatra) and Thoren Ferguson (Matriarch). The settings, attire, look and feel of the movie was perfect for the storyline. The storyline was interesting and I liked the set up for the climatic ending. I was surprised the plot kept my attention despite being a bit cliche. The writing and acting was inconsistent with some scenes being better than others; however, the last 30 minutes are solid. The horror elements all come at once in a big ending reveal, but they are fairly entertaining. The twist at the end is solid and makes the film worth a watch. Overall, this is an entertaining addition to the horror genre that I would score a 5.5-6/10 and recommend seeing once.

But I hadn't. I was mixing it up with 'The Pope's Exorcist' which is of course another religious-based horror, but quite different to this one. Yeah, cods that one's got Russel Crowe in it portraying a priest whio performs exorcisms. This one has a woman going to the church where her brother, a priest died. And there are more nuns in this one. A lot more nuns. How many more is hard to say, as I've only watched one third of 'The Pope's Exorcist', and NONE of this movie (pun intended!). So whether tthis one's worth your time, I can't really say. I don't find religious-based horrors particularly scary, maybe because I was raised in an atheist household, so therefore I find the existence of the devil and demons to not be very compelling. It's hard to be scared of something you don't believe in, eh? Though that said, I do find ghostly horrors to be quite scary, even though I don't really believe in ghosts, so go figure, Anyway, give this one a go, if you think it'll be your cup of holy water. Me, I think I'll give it a miss. Cheers, and Ciao! XOx.
