Sanktuarium

Is the movie unique and spectacular? No. Is it good enough to be enjoyable? Definitely! Jump scares apparently are out of fashion. Well, I like them, especially when they are there but not around every corner. This movie maintains a nice balance in that respect. And sure, when you don’t expect them, they are great but I also like the anticipation of it, knowing you’re going to get a scare, but not knowing when.  The premise was really interesting as well. Where there is God/a positive force, the dark/evil follows. The power of faith. The bloodline with Alice being a descendant of Mary. I have only one (no small) detail that didn’t make sense and somewhat ruined the end for me: Alice should’ve stayed dead. Unless of course they’re planning a sequel, because if Mary lives through her children, there’s nothing holding her from coming back. I think it would’ve been way more powerful to let Alice actually die.
