This is the third installment in the Department Q series. Saw this few days back on a DVD. It begins with a message in a bottle from disappeared children. The movie starts as a kidnapping drama n then turns into a serial killer thriller n later explores the importance of faith. Some may compare this to Prisoners, True Detectives S1 n Marshland. Nonetheless it is a very solid crime thriller. There is sufficient tension n good amount of atmosphere. The cinematography was gorgeous. This time the movie has some decent action sequences too. Trains, helicopters, car chase. Our two leading detectives, Nikolaj Lie Kaas n Fares Fares acted good. The guy who played the serial killer acted well. He is the creepiest and most effective villain of the Department Q films.

Red-Barracuda24 June 2016I saw Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland's recent film In Order of Disappearance (2014) a couple of years ago. I was very impressed with that Nordic noir which was both very humorous and inventive. A Conspiracy of Faith is another thriller but one with quite a differing approach. It dispenses with the comedy of the earlier film and instead goes for a pretty downbeat approach. Hardly surprising really when you consider that the story is about two cops investigating the case of two abducted children. This kind of material is always one that is going to be somewhat dark, another recent north European film The Treatment (2014) dealt with this subject in a very head on manner and consequently was very disturbing indeed in places. A Conspiracy of Faith only goes so far with its dark material and by the end of the film slightly dissipates its impact further by having its narrative go into more standard thriller territory. But despite that, this is still another compelling bit of Nordic noir.
There are strong acting performances throughout, with a return performance from Pål Sverre Hagen - so memorable as the hilarious vegan crime boss from In Order of Disappearance - as the cold hearted psychopath. The story has added interest in that it mixes in themes of religion, with the killer himself solely targeting children from deeply religious families, exploiting the fact that these people have more faith in God than in the police. So there are a few distinctive elements interwoven into what otherwise may have been a standard serial killer thriller. I would probably rate this as less interesting as the more ambitious In Order of Disappearance but it still remains yet another pretty impressive Scandinavian noir. -
This is the best of the three films in my opinion, it is not darker as such, off course the fact that its about kids getting taken is just not very nice to think about, but the cases they are working on are dark and we are beginning to know the characters and their different persona's and they really capture many great aspects of the characters and their interaction with other people.
I haven't read any of the books, but based on my wife's explanation, this is also the best adaption of the books, they are still changing things and making it more viewer friendly, but that's how it is.
Serial killers are always strange and dark, but this one is very well portrayed by Pål Sverre Hagen, he really seems like this nice guy, good looking (a Norwegian Ryan Gosling), well spoken, calm and trustworthy. But deep down he is just a bad bad man, with a terrible past and a twisted mind.

kosmasp11 December 2016It might seem that there is a decline in the movies, but this is still rock solid. I can only imagine that the book is even more than that. It has characters from the previous movies (and books of course) and has a case that is pretty strong. You don't have the urgent feeling and the playfulness it had in the previous movies. As dark as they got, you always had something light in them.
That's almost missing entirely here. There's still character moments, but strings and things are being said and left on the sideline without giving them a resolution. It's a shame, but the movie is packed so much, that some things have not the punch they deserved to have and should have had. Still the movie and especially the villain are great. And it's not so much about who it is, but why he is and where and how to find him ... -
subxerogravity25 June 2016When I went to see the film The Keeper of Lost Causes, I loved the movie so much that when I discovered it was one in a trilogy called Department Q, I had to see the others. I saw the second of the movies, The Absent One and was as impressed with it as the first. Now I'm up to A Conspiracy of Faith and I'm Definitely impress with the trilogy as a whole, but must confess, this is the weakest out of them all.
In A Conspiracy of Faith, police detective Carl ls burnt out and needs some resurgence that his job is worth it as he works the cold case Department Q. This comes at a bad time when Department Q catches the case of a 3 year old murder, and discover the killer is not done killing.
The movie takes a certain turn away form the other two. The case is not as complex, it's more right in your face, which allows for more action. It's the type of format I would expect from the second movie not the third.
On it's own A Conspiracy of Faith is a suspenseful action thriller, that's straight up protagonist vs. antagonist with a lot of dark themes and concepts that make for a remarkable film.
As part of the Department Q trilogy, it's new take on the crime drama series makes it fall into the third movie cruse. -
stonedraim17 July 2016**** May contain strong spoilers ****
This is a review made by StoneDraim... and that means that if you want to read a probably different kind of review, keep reading....
This is my personal experience, my personal point of view/perspective and my personal opinion... and my opinion is just one of like 7 billions in this world.
The movies including "A Conspiracy of Faith" has a good reputation. Danish movies is low in rate in my opinion. And the trilogy is well made movies with a heavy sense within them.
The story behind the film is based on a strict faith in religion. A family (two children, two adults) is greatly active in a spiritual and religious "cult" and community. A man is coming now and then to pay his visit to the church. Two children is kidnapped and before that criminal act the police has gotten an bottle message from someone written several years earlier. As the investigation comes closer to the core, the intense hunt begins to save both the parents and the children. During the chase and the investigation, the to-be-prosecuted has some clarification in what made the prosecuted the way the prosecuted is. And, within that, a lot is taken ground inside the world of religion and a faith in a almighty God. As a criminal story following the apartment of Q, "A Conspiracy Of Faith" is getting straight to the point socially; how far will a human being go to follow the belief and faith? How (if so) dangerous can a community based on religion (and separating itself from the rest of the world) be?
Nikolaj Arcel and Jussi Adler-Olsen (the writers) has taken some interesting topics and twisted them around a little... started on a script beginning as an ordinary crime story just to evolve into a more sweltering and substantial movie, where the characters is in constant danger.
A scene in the end could have been done a lot... a lot better and intense. The prosecuted drowns a child in front of the police officer. Just the thought of the events is... so devastated. If the production team and the actors had knocked this scene up four or five steps, it could easily have been a major thing that would have made this film noticed in a great way.
Addition to the story: A human being who has been through tragic elements and/or events in life can be hold back and very "off to the world". Being focused to the inner self and dwell in anxiety. Carl Morck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is extremely heavy minded in the beginning of this motion picture. And still, a genius in creating and finding pieces in a criminal puzzle. Just a few words here and there, and on the other hand taking in everything happening around him.
If the film were a high class production, the development of Carl Morck should have been better planned and acted to give the viewer the total (and the supposed?) realistic mental change of the same man. Too bad they missed that target.
To be clinical of the motion picture story and events, there is one innovative kill in "A Conspiracy Of Faith"; a pair of scissors into the gut. Then opening the scissors inside the gut and cutting.
Do you like Scandinavian movies? Do you like criminal films, and following the police in their work? Then, I recommend "A Conspiracy Of Faith".
Over to the movie as a product: - The production : Sadly, I have to say it like this; "to be an Scandinavian movie, it is more than good." If they would have been more in the way of perfection (in every way; camera work, sound, visuals, acting etc.) this could have hit the buzz of excellent movies. - The actors : Solid performances from Fares Fares and Nikolaj Lie Kas.The director could easily have done a better job with the entire cast as there is high potential in several actors. - Entertainment : Sitting on the edge at some times. Good criminal story with some action. - Age : 15
6,7 out of 10. (The final rate is based most on my own entertainment of the movie. Short elucidation of the rating: 7 Well made movie. Proper entertainment. 6 Nice production. Good movie.) -
dakjets23 August 2016I had high expectations for this third film - would it be as good as the two previous films?
I am delighted that it is. But different than the other two films. This film has more dialog between the two main characters, about they're personal life and faith. It brings more depths to the characters, and it does not come in the way of the story-line.
As the previous films, this haunting crime-film is all about the darkest and most twisted evil people, and they're terrible actions towards innocent people. In this film it also deals with children, so it's very gripping. As a Norwegian Im delighted to see Norwegians actors in this film, they really brings life to the film, acting in a convincing way. It even has a Norwegian director. But this it danish crime at it's very very best.
Well, if you like dark tales, this one is for you. Hope they follow this up with more films. -
mgd_m18 June 2019This is the best chapter among the three, in my opinion. "Department Q" is a honest, low-flying franchise; it does few things, but does them very well. It's some kind of a very very good, 2-hours long tv episode. It keeps you hooked till the end (that's something very important in crime fiction), while entertaining you with good photography, good acting, and some tongue-in-cheek humor.
A special mention for the lead actor, that delivers an outstanding interpretation here, something worth of Hollywood in my opinion.
Recommended for a relaxing evening at home, it's fiction with no flaws. On a side note, some sequences in all three movies are violent or gory and can be disturbing to some. -
As I had seen Kvinden i buret and Fasandræberne and liked them both, it is logical that I set to Flaskepost fra P as well. And I am contented again, even a bit more than with the other two. Following the main leitmotif, there are witty dialogues between the two policemen about faith and religion, and more suspense scenes where the outcome is unpredictable. Perhaps the wrongdoer's identity was revealed too soon, but his motives not revealed until the end and great performances of all stars of the film generated yet a pleasant and intense film experience, based on a renown book by Jussi Adler-Olsen (well, I have not read them, but I am not a person vigorously comparing related books and films, with a trivial conclusion that "the book was much better" :))
So, another good creation within Scandinavian Noir, and another reason and opportunity to acquaint yourself with Nikolaj Lie Kaas' talent. -
jamescathie2 August 2018After watching the first 2 films of the series, I was left amazed at the intrigue of this show. They were dark and complex and left you on the edge of your seat. However, this film was below par in my opinion. I still loved it. However, it did not reach my expectations. The plot of this film is probably the darkest of the lot but I felt there wasn't as good a flow to it as the others. Nevertheless, it was a great film to watch which kept me guessing throughout, with a satisfying ending
-
OJT1 October 2016This is the third, and so far the best, film from Jussi Adler-Olsen's crime novels about the Department Q. The first "Kvinden i buret"/"The Keeper of Lost Causes" (2013) I rated 7/10, and was quite disappointed about the much more convoluted "Fasandreberne"/"The absent one" (2014), which I voted 5/10. Then I'm happy to say that this is a big step back from the last film directed by Mikkel Nørgaard.
Acclaimed Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland has taken over, and made a much more serious and darker Nordic noir.
The film is about a serial killer, acting as a cult leader. He kidnaps two children and demands ransom. But before this the Departemnt Q gets a case with a eight year old strange message found in a bottle. This is the start of an intense hunt.
The acting is superb, and mix with religion makes it very interesting. The film is slightly let down by being a lower budget production, though just from being a classic. it's still a very dark crime thriller.
Carl Morck (played by Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is very depressed and heavy minded. He makes his best role so far here. There is also a very strong acting performance by Pål Sverre Hagen, which does another psychopath here, just as in Moland's incredible "In order of disappearance"/"Kraftidioten". Once again a memorable role.
A well recommended Nordic noir. -
What on first looks seems to be a serial killer story, doubles as well as a story about faith and the vulnerability of small religious communities.
What's most rewarding about this bleak and depressing story are the characters, especially the two detectives, who both struggle to solve a missing childs case and get emotionally torn up by their inability to find the criminal responsible.
Suspenseful from start till finish. With a few vicious violent scenes, so beware if of that if you choose to go see this movie.
What's a bit lacking in this story is the credibility of certain plot turns. It's a minor nag, but not one I can overlook.
Not a picture I would like to recommend to friends or family, because it is such a dark and depressing movie, but those who are into slowburning, dark and twisted dramas might wanna consider this mindboggling tale of evil. -
jonb-783373 February 2017Keeper of Lost Causes is one my favourite films of all time. When I recently discovered the 2nd and 3rd films I could barely wait to see them.
This one however did not live up to the production of the first two and I am amazed that no one else has called all the impossible, nonsense things the plot is dependent on and clichés galore. I'm sure I won't dissuade you from watching but the 2+ hours sure dragged for my partner and I.
****Spoillers**** After cliché of kidnap victims not wanting cops involved (OK in the scheme of things) the father gets on a normal German EC train. Cut to the next scene and he's on an ICE express. Then it gets better as the baddie calls him and tells him to throw the money out of the train - so the Father just opens the door of a moving train doing 200+km/h - wth??? What train even allows a door to open without an emergency stop. Then he jumps out and is OK. Later in same scene cop gives chase and seemingly to drag the film out only rings in the ambulance call and doesn't put out an apb to the helicopter they have on the operation with a description of the car or license plate. Heavy sigh.
Of course the killer is so confident he comes to get the father in hospital and it turns into keystone cops again.
This film just lets down the other two and even now makes me want to eye roll. If in doubt think of the Department Q series as a two film series and not a trilogy. Painful. -
Reno-Rangan24 May 2017The third film in the 'Department Q' series that adapted from the book series of the same name. For this the director has changed, the one from 'In Order of Disappearance' and I think it was a good move, but the result was not as expected, at least not for me. As the sequels proceeding, it's losing its charm. Yeah, for me still the first film was the best one. That following parts were just okay, which rely highly on the great foundation that laid in the first.
Actually this story was good, despite like any cop-and-kidnapper- chase-thriller. But it was developed on the sensitive issue like faith which made the film a little shy. Because they don't want to bring in any serious debate, but wanted to balance everything as much as possible to be neutral from all kinds of this film series' fans/viewer's perspective. So you will be entertained as the title promised, but at the end if you consider it just a film, then it's okay. Otherwise, particularly from the atheist's viewpoint, its not any favourable.
The story has a clear explanation for whatever happens, especially about the film character who commits the crime. So it is a challenging time for what Carl Morck believes in. So far we saw him as a tough cop, but this particular case he's dealing with is like he had never encountered before. There are some great scenes, like chasing a train which is actually a turning point in the narration. But the rest of the film was mostly has cliché like any cop who tries to solve the crime.
❝With that attitude you'll never enjoy a pork roast.❞
The plot for the crime was focused on the initial stage of the tale. The following narration was highly influenced by the cops and their attempt to resolve the issue. But before coming to that, an intentional connection between the two cases was not definitely a masterstroke as I expected. Although it looked something new on the screenplay, which might have worked so good in the dark and slow paced crime-thriller.
While they are, Carl and Acid are looking to decipher the puzzle they have got which is dated back nearly a decade, now they come to know that two kids were kidnapped in a similar fashion. They begin to dig deeper from the previous clue for the new incident. If they are right, it is much closer than they have thought to solve it. But how it helps to plan for the fight and their full efforts which told in the final act with a fast pace.
Little disappointing was they wanted to remain those two cops as the heroes. So all the heroic acts were a build up from them alone in most of the accounts for the cinematic edgy moments. Especially how the finale turns out, is not appreciable from the writing perspective, other than giving satisfactory episode to the hardcore fans of the film franchise.
For me the locations were awesome, all the scenes shot at the right time of the day and its light that sets a fine tone regarding all the developments taking place. A decent follow-up and surely worth a watch if you had liked previous two films, but don't expect it to be the best in the series. Anyway, still some people think it is the best one so far. Now I think it's time to wait for 'The Purity of Vengeance' if they are on to it.
6/10 -
socrates420 May 2019DEPARTMENT Q is not a bad movie. It starts out very good and intriguing. The premise feels very different and promising. As things unfold, however, we realize that this movie will be nothing special.
It's actually pretty average. Not bad at all, by any means. The acting is good and so is the directing. But there's no great ending or anything like that. It starts out better than it ends, so that makes it a little disappointing. Overall, it's not bad though. Recommend for those looking for something a little different, but not too different. -
I am gonna keep it short and simple-
I think the biggest problem with the movie is that the tone from the first 2 movies is missing from this part.There isn't edge of thrill moment as the first 2 parts had.Seems like director was in hurry to complete the movie.It's watchable but not as good as the first 2 parts. -
jamesduncan-7456523 September 2021I watched this late one night because...I didn't see anything else that stoked my interest.
This is a very entertaining, engrossing, well executed, well acted movie! I cared a great deal about all of the primary and secondary characters! There was an unexpected kindness, caring and tenderness amongst the characters that, while not standing in the way of dogged determination, made them seem like realistic and somewhat vulnerable humans who are compelled to protect others.
I have to be 100% transparent: I like violent and bloody movies. I find them cathartic. This story had me wrapt with very little of either! -
Luigi Di Pilla5 February 2017Erlösung was an interesting watch. This thriller plays in Denmark and you see for once other pictures than in the usual Hollywood films of this genre. The story is promising but loses sometimes itself to stick criminal research elements together until the end. There are some flaws but if you can look away it works anyway for a solid thriller. I expected some harder punishment for the kidnapper that I want not to spoil more here. In other American kidnapping movies the killing scene of the bad guy is developed much more spectacular. If you liked it you should see Panic Room, Hostage, Trapped or The Call. You won't regret. In fact Erlösung is one part of a trilogy with the same actors. There are rumors that they will be filmed for a remake in Hollywood. So I think I wait to see the other two until they come out new again. 6/10.

This third installment is, in many ways, the darkest of the series. It's not "deranged" dark in the manner of the disturbing "The Treatment" (a must see for lovers of the genre - but admittedly a tough film with psychologically destructive activities discussed) but that in addition to involving the murder and abuse of children, and the continuing psychological deterioration of one the its main characters, it also dares to challenge the concept of faith (although like most films that tread in this direction, it fails to spend the added time and argument that can successfully undermine even the most devout adherents, instead - as is also typical - backsliding a bit from it's own dark realistic world view to allow some warmth in). If the first two films challenged what we expect from this genre, and what we expect from genre protagonists, this film also challenges some deeper held beliefs (even if it doesn't quite go far enough) and is all the braver for the effort. Best if watched in order and I am delighted they are filming a fourth in this series!

ma-cortes9 October 2023A cold and dark film with thrills, chills, and scary incidents. The two detectives return to action adapting the third book of the bestselling ¨Department Q¨ saga by Danish Carl Valdemar, better known as Jussi Olsen. A bottle thrown into the Jutland sea with a message inside reaches department Q, responsible for unsolved cases. An old note is found in the bottle in which has traveled very long across the ocean a long time ago. The note is hard to decipher, but when the Danish investigator from Section Q receives it, the odd personalities within the section find a new angle on it and try to unveil yet another old and diabolic case even though the lead is cold. When they analyze the letter, they discover that it is written in tar, its author is a child, it is stained with blood and was thrown into the sea at least six years earlier. As two intertwined cases linking the past with the present require the aid of Department Q and they have to catch an elusive serial killer while time is running out. What happens if you can't let go of the past, if it eats you up inside?. Nothing is forgotten forever!. Based on the best-selling novel of First Department Q!. From the Screenwriter of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'!. Your last chance at him is the lost causes department!. Some missing children, a reopened case!
Police thriller in the purest Nordic style with strong suspense, emotion, plot twists and action enough, concerning a relentless search that takes them deep into the undercurrent of religious fanaticism, children abuse, and malice that hides beneath the surface of the prosperous Scandinavia. This slow-moving film with strong doses of violence, adapts the third successful novel, from best-selling books written by Jussi Adler-Olsen, to the big screen. This police thriller is well directed and has a script by Nikolaj Arcel, who had written the storyline for the film adaptation of the first installment of Milennium, another of the most important Nordic sagas in history. Director Petter Moland does it European way, showing clarity in the cinematographic approach within the story. Well starred by Nikolaj Lie Kaas as the brave and surly police inspector Carl Morck and Fares Fares as the faithful Islamist assistant Assad, both of them give magnificent interpretations .
It is a truly tragic film about a twisted inventigation in which our two protagonists face the most difficult case, an extremely religious fanatic villain who cares about nothing but achieving his ominous goals. This decent film was professionally directed by Hans Petter Moland, replacing Mikkel Norggaard, responsible for the first two installments of the saga. In this entry the unpredictable Carl Morck - more intractable and introspective than ever - is once again played by Nikolaj Kaas, while Fares Fares gives life, once again, to his faithful companion of the Assad department. Along with them nice actors appear , such as: Pål Sverre Hagen, Jacob Lohmann, Amanda Collin, Johanne Louise Schmidt, Jakob Oftebro , among others.
The great protagonists Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Fares Fares signed a four-film deal, matching the number of Department Q novels written by Jussi Adler-Olsen that had been published at the time of filming. The saga is as follows: ¨Kvinden i buret¨ or ¨The Guardian of Lost Causes¨ (2013) by Mikkel Nørgaard with Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Fares Fares, Sonja Richter. ¨Fasandreperne¨ or ¨Pheasant Killers¨ (2014) by Mikkel Norgaard with Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Fares Fares, Pilou Asbæk. ¨Flaskepost fra P¨ or ¨A Conspiracy of Faith¨ (2016) by Hans Petter with Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Fares Fares, Pål Sverre Hagen, Amanda Collin. ¨Diario 64¨ or ¨The Purity of Revenge¨ (2018) by Christoffer Boe with Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Fares Fares, Johanne Louise Schmidt, Søren Pilmark. And ¨Marco effekten¨ or "The marco effect¨ (2021) by Martin Zandvliet with Ulrich Thomsen as Carl Mørck and Zaki Youssef as Assad. -
After diving into the jet-black snow of the Nordic Noir dark Comedy In Order of Disappearance in September 2016,I took a look at director Hans Petter Moland's IMDb page,and found that Moland had made the 3rd title in the Department Q movies. Originally being unable to find the film on DVD (it is now out in a box set) I was thrilled to find the BBC recently showing all the movies in the series,which led to me again joining the department.
The plot:
Spending years working the cold cases with Assad in Department Q, detective Carl Mørck begins expressing about how worn down he is starting to feel. On a beach, a person finds a message in a bottle. As the bottle lands on Department Q, Mørck and Assad realise that the note is from a boy who was kidnapped six years ago by someone with religious connections. Attempting to identify the boy, Assad and Mørck uncover a series of kidnaps and murders have taken place,of children whose parents were involved in various short-lived religious cults,that leads to this being holy final mission for Mørck.
View on the film:
Ploughing the frost of In Order Of Disappearance,director Hans Petter Moland & cinematographer John Andreas Andersen give the title an icy Nordic Noir chill,with a car park chase and the ocean where the killer hides being given a rough quality expressing the darkness that hides in the isolated locations. Cutting into the backstory of the killer with a Slasher-style flashback ( "No Mommy!") Moland gives (what appears to be) the final Department Q movie an earthy gravitas,in stylish close-ups uncovering the burnt-out state of Mørck.
Returning to adapt Jussi Adler-Olsen's (who has written 7 books in the series) book,the screenplay by Nikolaj Arcel loses some of the tightly coiled focus of the second entry by leaving open wounds in the investigation,with the "professional" level Department Q is held in being at odds with the open goals they miss (no one uses a tracking device to try and find the psycho.) Making the memory of a strange noise a major clue,Arcel borrows from the Giallo genre for a slick Nordic Noir serial killer tale,where the unmasking of the killer is cleverly linked to Nordic Noir's major theme of the corrupt business elite,as Department Q closes its doors. -
blumdeluxe6 March 2019"Flaskepost fra P" tells the story of a serial killer who hunts down his child victims in a closed religious community that avoids contact to the outer world. Investigations are immensly difficult in this milieu but time is running out.
The film is more or less your average middle-budget crime movie. The religious community creates an interesting atmosphere and a nice framework, however the tired and burned out cop is a stereotype that every second thriller seems to use these days. The case itself is solid and does keep you entertained, nonetheless it doesn't press you into your seat or make you gasp for air.
All in all this is a good pick for people who want to spend a nice evening with a solid crime movie. It is not outstanding but also doesn't do much wrong. -
Previous episodes were strong but police response in this movie is so unbelievably stupid and annoyingingly incompetent it was often hard to keep watchIng.
>>>>SPOILERS<<<<
Opening the door in an ICE train at over 200 km/h - if it's even possible - and someone jumps out and stands up after that. Btw train off course doesn't stop
Then they find the bad guy and they really need shooting lessons because they can't hit him even at one meter distance. Off course he gets away but although you know the license plate and car description (with Windows shot to pieces) you don't ask the helicopter above you to look for it. That would be too easy. No - the logical thing to do is focus on getting an ambulance and sit in the hospital waiting after.
When you then know the bad guy is in the hospital you worry about arranging a priest instead of hunting the criminal that just murdered two people. And of course you don't understand what it means when your colleague tell's you he's behind you.
When you know the villain must be close you never look around but at your colleague that it's just stabbed so he can catch you just by walking up behind you.
And when you finally find the boat house with the helicopter you don't hover above the walkboard and jump out. Noooo that's too easy. You fly to the beach without keeping an eye at the boathouse and walk there. Totally unbelievable
Then you finally go looking for the villain again and you stare into the sea so he can just walk up from behind from the beach and stab you. Strong scene. Not. -
A man abducted and killed kids around area..and two detectives tries find him and save 2 kids...i like this movie becozz of investigates linear way without any unwanted branch stories...but photography are same for flsahback and normal..

Foutainoflife19 September 2018I see that this is a third movie in a series of films but I am not familiar with those and therefore my review is solely basing this as a stand alone movie. I really enjoyed this. It has a great blend of thrills, drama and straight up creepiness. This has a religious aspect to it as well and I can't recall seeing another film quite like it. I couldn't see what was coming in this and I liked that. It makes me want to seek out the other films in this series and see what they have to offer. My only complaint is having to read the subtitles and the end was just short of all I wanted it to be. With that being said, in regards to the subtitles, this is why I watch foreign films. I'm sure the next time I watch it I will find more enjoyment in it seeing as I will be able to better watch all that is going on screenwise. Looking forward to that.
