So I’ll keep this review brief. The movie has some gorgeous cinematography; the acting is all right (I really like the protagonist, the male priest); and the concept involving immaculate conception + AntiChrist/Messiah twins is compelling. I also feel the movie’s opening act, where the protagonist first goes to see the woman who gives the immaculate birth, was well done: there were some really creepy and suspenseful scenes

But the movie quickly loses steam when they reach the cabin in the woods. Here, the movie starts dipping into all kinds of visions, dreams, romance-triangles, and premonitions etc that was just more annoying than interesting. And all the horror and creepiness that we saw in the opening act vanishes.

Again- good concept, but a missed execution

I hate that with some cheap horrors. You get a good build-up of creepiness and atmosphere, only for them to let it completely fall apart. It's even more annoying than if it had been bad from the beginning!
