Although I love slow burner movies, the pace of this one was too slow. There is no plausible explanation about the purpose of the sect; I believe it was eternal life at some point but the way it was performed, and the “plot twist” didn’t work. The killings at the beginning of the movie made no sense. I can’t believe Argento was related to this movie.

I was so excited when I found this, as Michele Soavi is one of my favorite directors. Out of everything I have seen that he has had a hand in, this was dead last for me. It is still worth watching if you are a fan of Soavi or like other films of this genre/style. Now I'm off to watch The Church, which never gets old, no matter how many times I've seen it.

I couldn’t even finish. This was bad by Argento standards. Clearly there was no understanding how classrooms, human behaviour, or rabbits work.

Dario D'Argento is a master behind the evil eye. Almost all of his films have been an influence for my addiction to horror!

If you appreciate Italian horror, I see no reason why you won't really enjoy this. It's a fascinating descent into Lovecraftian themes that owes a little to the likes of Rosemary's Baby. I didn't understand what was going on for the majority of the runtime - but everything does become coherent by the end!
