Consecration

"Consecration grows increasingly murky and blood-drenched and contrived."

"Unsatisfying..."

"Not just gimmicky but derivative of Christopher Smith’s own prior work."

"The messy script drags Consecration down..."

"Another retread of “spooky” Catholic-themed horror tropes without adding any insight or originality to the subgenre."

"Consecration can’t muster up effective scares and is prone to repetitive tactics. Still, its enigmatic story, bloody finish, and scathing critiques of the Church make for a fascinating journey all the same."

"Jena Malone brings a biting charm to her portrayal of Grace, but the story’s straightforward revelations end up feeling far too muted..."

"Catholic guilt and gore clumsily converge..."

"It doesn’t help that Smith keeps the horror elements to a minimum, or that the picture is so drably colored and dimly lit."
