Critic Reviews of "The Sacrament"
Seattle TimesJune 26, 2014West's found-footage structure doesn't always entirely make sense, but it's easy to forgive "The Sacrament" its flaws.
Los Angeles TimesJune 13, 2014The first half is a cautiously dread-inducing tour de force... The second half, however, when all hell breaks loose a little too quickly, is the disappointment.
Boston GlobeJune 12, 2014Everything that happens is what you'd expect, and the choice of subject and the modifications West has made to the generic conventions don't add much to the suspense or thrills.
New York Magazine/VultureJune 06, 2014The Sacrament may not be a good movie, but it has enough virtues - enough gripping, well-put-together moments - that it made me reconsider my opinion of West as a director.
Globe and MailJune 06, 2014The tension fizzles as The Sacrament narrows into predictability, indulging every cliché of found-footage filmmaking and Jonestown-styled cult apocalypticism.
RogerEbert.comJune 06, 2014Gives enough unsettling atmosphere and upsetting gut-level shock that this viewer didn't mind too much all the stuff he wasn't getting ...
ScreenCrushMarch 16, 2017West also proves that horror can draw from real-world scenarios and give us surprisingly profound moments.
The Film StageJune 23, 2016Genuinely creepy and upsetting, the picture showcases West's ability to make even a tired subgenre marginally fresh.
TheHorrorShowAugust 24, 2015What some may see as "slow and uneventful storytelling" I see as "subtle and masterfully sustained suspense."
Laramie Movie ScopeJanuary 01, 2015Although this film is classified in the horror genre, it plays more like a suspenseful drama. This film shows that director Ti West has the potential to move beyond the horror genre, as so many other directors have done before him.
Movie ChambersSeptember 06, 2014An overwhelmingly unoriginal thriller. "The Sacrament" borrows heavily, if not totally, from the 1978 Jonestown Massacre. But, it can't get the chills that even a bad documentary on Jonestown could give.
