Ostatnia wieczerza

Um filme que, após uma hora de embaraço dos espetadores, consegue justificar bastante bem a sua previsibilidade, mas as pequenas coisas parvas nele contidas não são desculpas (o sacerdote com a câmara a ser chocado por uma cruz em chamas, a arma carregada à espera na mesa...). E o final interessante, mais uma vez, não consegue salvar as impressões estranhas anteriores. Mas o filme merece uma terceira estrela, porque os cineastas foram mais longe com ele do que um grande filme de terror de estúdio (esse, no entanto, teria a primeira hora melhor construída) se atreveria. Os cenários são também bons. (13/11/2022)

The weak lead character and the slow pace slightly undermine the film, but both can ultimately serve the effectiveness of the finale, which works well as satanic horror film and religious satire. As a result, this is a very solid genre film, one which we can only envy our northern neighbours here in Czechia. (10/11/2022)

The prior's trickery is the devil's overture! Instead of behaving, Jura Baran prays to the other side, but who knows if Baran will even meet him from below. Musty walls, a pantry for monk's stew, buzzing winged messengers of their Lord, and an impressive ending where tonight in the monastery, no one will be left standing upright. For that, Bartosz M. Kowalski deserves the fourth point of the pentagram. Mea culpa for almost giving up on it halfway through. (04/11/2022)

A classic, soulless, second-rate borefest that is so mediocre and unremarkable that I won't remember it tomorrow. Luckily it's not very annoying and the short running time makes it bearable, but otherwise I don't see why I can recommend it. The synopsis speaks clearly and there is nothing more to add, but from the horror side it is weak and likewise with the filmmaking or acting side. (01/11/2022)

A nice surprise from Poland. Bartosz M. Kowalski is the first legitimate Polish horror director and we can expect more interesting things in the future. This film has an unconventional and fairly original theme about a detective who infiltrates a monastery as a monk to investigate the recent disappearances of women's bodies, but uncovers a terrifying conspiracy in the process. It teeters between crime thriller and satanic occult horror, an attractive combination I think, all backed up by decent craftsmanship. The locations are good (the tree in front of the monastery is breathtaking), the monastery has a lot to offer. I liked the music, I enjoyed the plot, the atmosphere was dense in places and there were a few tasty touches (a spectacular throat slitting, dismembered hanging women's bodies, or flies flying out of the monk's head), and the finale with the devil and Jesus himself had some great make-up effects. The fast pace and short running time is also pleasing, I really don't have a problem with it. The fact that it was made by Poles deserves a round up to 4 stars. 7/10. (11/11/2022)
