Overall an easy watch (almost too easy) and not frightening at all if you're into horror and thriller. The gore is at a medium amount, and much of it is censored. Some of the acting from the minor characters is incredibly stale and overdone. Plus, there's a lot of filler dialogue that may have you falling asleep.

The main male lead is quirky, comical, and the actor who plays him does an amazing job at bringing his character to life. The young priest appears to have no emotions (verbally and physically) and barely moves his neck and limbs, making his character unrealistic and lacklustre. (Could be interpreted as stoic.) The female lead is strong, and she has a masculine beauty that is enthralling to watch, however, her character is far too stubborn and avoids believing the truths that are right in front of her, only for a plot device (to continuously create an uneasy dynamic between her and the male leads).

Rarely any jump scares, but the few that are there are incredibly successful. The cinematography is visually pleasing and consistent, but sometimes the shaky cam is too noticeable and appears cheap. In general, it's fun to watch, but it could have been executed and written much better.
