Could've been something to watch, but extremely bad acting from the main protagonist just ruins any chance at entertainment.

I love Lovecraftian cosmic horror. I love the madness, the fear, the unknown .. the mystery and the abstract. I am not convinced that this movie delivers though .. It has some of the imagery of Lovecraftian monsters .. but it lacks all the circumstance. What i disliked the most was the cast .. the protagonist couple as well as the main antagonist acted in a very unnatural way .. not at all the way "normal people" do. Especially the communication between the couple was abysmal. They did not communicate - nor had they any hint of a chemistry together. The other thing that annoyed me was that the Nordic culture was - once again - portrait in such a rediculous way. (i am looking at you, Midsommar) Now i would say that the story has potential .. but its the potential of a mystery / horror story that plays out in a remote place filled with cultish weirdos - so hardly an original setting. Compared to "the colour of space", "the void", "the Mouth of Madness", "the prince of Darkness" etc .. this movie certainly feels way too mundane and lazy - never pushing the limits playing it way too safe.

It has a lot of lovecraftian elements in this movie. I was almost about to not watch it but it hooked me right at the start. It's a bit slow but I think that is what adds to the mystery. As for the ending I kind of expected the "twist" but it left me with a whole bunch of questions.

This movie is as entertaining as clipping your toenails. If you really enjoy clipping your toenails you might like this movie. Otherwise skip it.

It had potential, but it missed one important part of this type of horror. It says it is based on the writings of Lovecraft. His writings are big on monsters, right? This entire movie has no payoff: you never get to see the monster. Fail. Otherwise good.

Absolute garbage ending, zero answers or explanations given. Then it just suddenly ends and the credits roll. What? Had potential 90% through, last 10 mins ruined the movie. It's like the writer just completely gave up and didn't have an ending. At least we got to see that hot chick naked for a while ;)

Well, initially I didn't know that the 2020 movie "Sacrifice" was a Lovecraftian movie, so that was quite the nice surprise when that dawned upon me as I was watching the movie. I hadn't heard about "Sacrifice" before now in 2021, as I had the opportunity to sit down to watch the movie. And it was initially because of the movie's cover and the fact that it had Barbara Crampton on the cast list that I sat down to watch this movie. The storyline, as written by Andy Collier, Paul Kane and Tor Mian, definitely have some interesting aspects to it, but ultimately the movie settled itself into a slump, from which it never recovered. The movie just went into auto-pilot mode, and it reflected poorly on the movie as a whole. There was just simply too little of any overly interest happening throughout the course of the movie. It should be said that directors Andy Collier and Tor Mian managed to capture a great atmosphere in the movie and managed to present a storyline that was laced with a sense of cosmic dread, but the ending of the movie was just too predicable and mundane, and that dragged the movie down. "Sacrifice" has a good ensemble of casted actors and actresses. I do like watching Barbara Crampton in movies, but having her portraying a Norwegian woman was just out of the realm of believable options, especially since her accent was all over the place and never settling on a single specific accent; sometimes it sounded Irish, other times American, and a few times oddly twisted Scandinavian. So it just ruined so much of the movie having her accent fly all over the place. Visually then "Sacrifice" was adequate. But if you are expecting a movie that is crammed with special effects, where you get to see one or more of the Great Old Ones, then you will be sorely mistaken. Sure, you get to see some nice carved idols and interesting amulets, and even a tentacle or two, but that was about it. So it was somewhat disappointing. Sure, "Sacrifice" is a watchable movie, but it was ultimately not a memorable movie, nor a particularly great foray into the realm of the Mythos that H.P. Lovecraft created. My rating of "Sacrifice" ends on a very bland and mediocre five out of ten stars.

Midsommar + The Wicker Man + HP Lovecraft = I'm on it! It's a good movie with potential to be much more. Some good moments, beautiful scenario, good atmosphere, a really great ending, always great Barbara, the main girl does a good job, but, unfortunately the main actor was not that convincing. It's a bit repetitive (too many dreams), but I found it better than most people say and worth a watch.

I usually give up on movies like this after 20 minutes but it felt like it was building to something great and cosmic so I stayed the course. It doesn't go anywhere, nothing happens and it isn't worth your time. 3/10 for the pretty location.

It does take you along but tends to do so slowly.However , you would like it if you stay till the end.They are some scenic places in the movie which would add to the melange.
