    • Trivia
      The tincture taken by Thomas throughout the first half of the movie is likely laudanum. Laudanum, or tincture of opium, is comprised of opium powder and alcohol. It is implied in the opening scene that his addiction is why he is thought to be dead prior to being located to help with his sister's rescue.

    • Quotes

      Thomas Richardson: The promise of the Divine is but an illusion. Nothing in this world is pure... except for Jennifer, my sister.

    7/10
    Interesting and compelling thriller
    Not sure why all the very negative reviews. While not a masterpiece, I found this pretty enjoyable. Yes, if you're expecting the in media res of The Raid you're probably in for a disappointment, as this is a bit of a slower burn. There are some pretty intensely violent moments but they are in the minority. No, it is not a perfect movie, but I think it successfully segues from period piece to horror film pretty well. Some people will probably have a problem with the fact that it isn't enough of one or the other. It's a difficult film to classify and there are some narrative holes. But I think it has enough interesting elements, stand-out scenes, and general intrigue to warrant a 7/10.
