"I've read many reviews on this movie that give it high praise and now that I've finally seen it, I have to agree. The whole vibe of the '70s was expertly captured and the creepy and ominous feel of the original movie was not only captured but turned up more than a couple of notches. Nell Tiger Free does an excellent job in the lead role, I was truly impressed. My fear with this movie is that it may be wasted on younger generations. That's the problem with doing a prequel for a highly rated horror original nearly 50 years later. (The Omen, 1976) I can only recommend that if you haven't seen the original, you should watch it before viewing this prequel. But I really appreciate that the filmmakers honored the original franchise, instead of just going for a money grab. 8/10"
"This lead actress is something else. What an incredible performance. It was slightly slower in the fist half than what I wanted it to be but don’t get me wrong still worth seeing it. The scene with Margaret getting out of the car was out of this world - amazing acting by everyone. Great setting. Great costumes. Well done to this lead actress. She’s a star"

"This disturbs me almost as much as the first Excorcist movie. Added to the never watch again list 😭 I will say I do love Nell Tiger Free, talk about a freakin STUNNER! What a beauty and she’s so natural, and her acting skills are out of this world! Can’t wait to see more from her! If you’re a fan of her and haven’t yet watched Servant on Apple TV I highly recommend"
"Utter trash. I am tired of the nun movies where the entire church is full of nuts. Can we get demon movies without the Catholic church? They aren't even putting the church in for exorcisms anymore. I would like an original demon movie. I'm giving it 2 stars do to the twist at the very end."
"Filled with body horror and a few well-done demonic scares, this movie delves into the sadistic world of a church desperate to keep it's power and what they will do to the women in their care. Really unsettling, this horror movie has some grotesque scenes of birth, SA, and torture. The actors are so deeply talented that this movie was, at times, hard to watch. The last 45 minutes are packed with action, so I recommend bearing with it for the first part of the movie and paying attention to little details. I was able to predict the twist of this film around 20 minutes in, but that doesn't mean it's not a good twist. Would've been a 5 star movie, but after you learn the twist you realize that certain plot points were convoluted and unnecessary, in hindsight. Shout out to some fascinating commentary on gender and sexism in this."
