I was starting to lose faith in Arrowstorm with the latest stuff I've watched, but this one movie has restored it. Which is kind of funny, considering the subject of the film. As usual, the feudal/fantasy pieces somehow turn out better than their sci-fi stuff.

You have an abbey where a curious death had happened, an investigator that believes in reason, not magic, a bunch of secretos monks that fear they are cursed by a witch and an annoying girl that would have normally been killed immediately for her stupid faces and weird smiles alone. The acting is good, the setting is very well chosen, but in the end the story feels partially copied from other things and the rest abandoned in a bloody mess. It is still a decent film, which could have been a lot better with a more thought out story and a stronger ending. Screenwriter hint: the more complex and sympathetic the villain, the better the story. Come on, guys!

I liked this. I loved the story, thought the acting was ok and it was filmed well. The problem with it was the fact that it moved at such a slow pace and it wasn't as suspenseful as I wanted it to be. It would have also benefited from more of an attempt to tie things up a bit better. It had a couple of creepy moments and it didn't rely on a lot of played out jump scares or special effects. I may never watch it again but I'm glad I came across it and checked it out.

Back in the day when they were hunting and killing witches ... we can safely assume that they weren't actually witches. With movies like this one, there's a 50/50 chance that the accused are witches. That being said, it does not mean this is a message, philosophical, political or otherwise. This is supposed to be entertainment and not give credit to allegations from the past or paint a certain picture of men or women.

I dread even having to write something obvious like that, but having that out of the way, it is time to have fun with this. Or be entertained, be afraid, be on the edge of your seat while watching. This is a low budget effort and as such has a lot of flaws. Still the tension is there and the movie has a few twists up its sleeve to surprise some of the viewers. Decent enough effort to say the least
