“You said it wasn't real!" Those last lines are horrifying when you realise this movie pulled the twist that it was never a typical Christain devil. Instead, it was an unknown pagan deity. That's why the exorcism went so wrong. It was like throwing a pebble at a steel wall. It was doomed from the start.

The fact that the creature/deity was awoken during a christening feels intentional. The rumbling starts when the baby cries, and that makes it feel like this being that hasn’t had a child sacrifice in centuries just heard the dinner bell, making its stomach growl.

The lovecraftian ending of that film is so unexpected, shocking and out there. I think that's why it's so impactful.

@god-rj5wf 3 years ago

the horrified screams of the guy with the other crying out prayer as they died slowly and painfully was so fucking haunting, man. like,,, jesus.

The single, chilling line “Who have I been praying to all this time?” from The Mandela Catalogue always reminded me of this movie.

"You said it wasn't real!" Is still one of the few lines that actually gets me spooked when I remember the context

Kinda terrifying that they were climbing all over it's back the whole time. There was no one movement or thought they had in private. Even as they slept, it watched.

It let them walk right into it's mouth & down it's throat before slowly closing them in. It waited, waited, waited then simply closed it's mouth.

How many have travelled down there?

that damn ending feels like the closest thing we'll ever get to a film adaptation of the "God's Mouth" creepypasta, and it's all sorts of disturbing

This is why getting eaten alive is one of my biggest irrational fears. Jaws initiated this when I was much younger and much smaller, then NOPE reinstated it. I don't care if someone's into it, the idea of falling into an inescapable unknown with tight walls closing in around you as you eventually feel yourself begin to slowly melt away is a nightmare.

Honestly the ending was refreshing in a way as we got a religious themed horror movie (found footage no less!) that manages to pull of something so bizarrely mysterious and unsettling rather than "yo satan and/or demons" for the 300th time. Perfect for the themes of the movie. I just wish the first half had been spookier.

Just realized after watching this that the symbol they find is meant to be the deity's intestine. Such a clever and creepy detail

@victoriouswinner7745 3 years ago

I love the idea of the monster not being a terrifying demon wendigo, but instead literally the earth. It’s super creative

The screaming sheep was actually triggering. I wonder how they managed to get that sound, as I assume they didn't actually torture a sheep for the film. So haunting and terrifying!

@yeetleleetlelee9242 3 years ago

That poor sheep. I know it’s just a movie but it makes me feel sick that someone would torture a harmless animal in such a way.
It also feels like a call of the shepherd leaving the 99 behind to find the 1 missing in his flock. It’s meant to be a loving symbol but now it’s being burned.

So the baby heard crying when the machine was turned off was an actual baby already in the belly of the beast …

Gray whimpering and crying "You said it wasn't real!" at the end while Deacon desperately prayed for both of them almost broke me, I wanted to cry. 😭The screams were horrifying - god, that scene stuck with me for a long while after. Amazing film :)

@paintednerd 3 years ago

One of my favourite films ever made. Don't know if it's been mentioned elsewhere in the comments, but two little things I liked in the films was:
1. When the dog attacks the rabbit, Gray makes a comment about bigger things eating smaller things
and 2. one of the times early on when Gray is having a cigarette, the camera shows a grave with Gray's details before the camera turns away, then showing the same grave but with a different inscription

@Set666Abominae 3 years ago (edited)

This film is very loosely based on the book ‘The House on the Borderlands’ by William Hope Hodgson, which Lovecraft has cited as a personal influence. Also extremely recommended for fans of cosmic horror (it gets incredibly weird in a way that’s rather ahead of its time).

Edit: emphasis on the words “very loosely”. I can’t remember where I read it, but I definitely recall seeing something about House on the Borderlands having been a starting off point or reference for the film, even though most details were changed.

When Deacon popped that kid in the mouth I actually got up and cheered. That poor sheep. Also damn I got thrown for such a loop with that ending!! Great movie
