Reviews:
“This movie dives into religious connection right down to having the priests named John, Paul and Mark. It plays into the sensitive subjects revolving around how priests get ordained, almost like a hazing process. This becomes a very interesting concept and one which has surprises along the way. the best way to describe this movie is, a religious escape room.” Movie Reviews 101
” …The Final Pact is an interesting film that plays out more as a supernatural drama than a fright flick. It benefits from some strong performances and interesting ideas. There isn’t much in the way of effects, but the cinematography, also by Rabbath, looks great and nicely frames the effects the budget allowed for. As long as you realize you’ll spend more time thinking than jumping out of your seat, you should enjoy the film.” ★★★½ Voices from the Balcony
