Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

The relic itself looks genuinely unsettling, shockingly.

Acting

James Frain commits harder than this production deserved.

Best for:Friends: Riff with friends who appreciate bargain-bin CGI demons.·Background: Fold laundry while monks get disemboweled off-screen.·Rewatch: Annual tradition to see if it gets worse (it does).
Heads up:Gore: Cheap practical effects that somehow make wounds look worse.
