I loved the casting, I didn't know anything about the movie so I was surprised to see recognizable faces. A random thought I had while watching this is Father Gabriel is such a common priest name in movies and tv.
I liked that the nuns seemed to be having fun. Usually when a monastery of nuns is shown it's bleak, the nuns are uptight, mean and/or eerie vibes throughout. While here they're introduced as just normal people who can have a laugh or some fun.
Pretty graphic and gory at times. I wasn't such a big fan of the fingers, only the first time shown. There was a girl seated nearby and she was squeamish, it kinda made the experience more fun to hear her scream "oh no" in horror, disgust or shock at different moments during the movie.
It takes time to find its footing and for the eerie stuff to properly start; but it does have a creepy ambience to it. Certain characters were very odd and helped that. I loved the score, really helped build up the atmosphere.
My interest peaked when they mentioned the Antichrist. I went into the movie without watching any spoilers or anything so it was a pleasant surprise to see that's what the movie's centered around. I thought it was gonna be some demon possession. I didn't like that they introduced the roommate and we got to see a lot of her at the start; and then she disappears.
The movie had some pretty nice shots. Some scenes that were pretty eerie and ominous. It just that the first half of the movie felt like it was building up to something for so long. It didn't feel like it was actually progressing. I thought the twist would be Margaret turning out to being the mother of Anna or mother of the Antichrist. I don't know if that made it predictable.
I think the last 45min or so were good. The movie is better than Sydney Sweeney's Immaculate. Their premises were similar but this was done better. However the movie it reminded me of most was "The Devil Conspiracy" which has one of the wildest synopsis I've ever read. Also surprised to learn afterwards that this isn't the first Omen movie. Others made in 1976 and 2006, the latter with some recognizable faces.
The main actress, Nell Tiger Free, was very dedicated to the role, she had several moments of brilliance. I was kinda shocked at the birth scenes, they drugged the first girl but didn't drug her.
Sets up a sequel well. Not sure a sequel would bang though. I think it'd have to be very ambitious and grand, it is the antichrist after all. But "the devil conspiracy" was ambitious but it didn't do too well. But I'd still be interested in watching the sequel.
