FORSAKEN

Cinemavixion Review

Director Tristan Price's "Forsaken" plunges into a dark theological quandary, exploring the desperate measures a priest undertakes when his wife falls gravely ill. Elias Alexandro, Micheal Catalano, and David E. Cazares anchor the narrative with performances that grapple with faith, sin, and the terrifying consequences of defying divine will. The film posits a chilling premise: a priest, armed with forbidden knowledge of exorcism, possesses his own wife to save her life. This act, however, unleashes a torrent of vengeful spirits, twisting a noble intention into a nightmarish struggle for survival. While the film delves into profound themes of sacrifice and damnation, its ambition is matched by a palpable sense of dread, creating an unsettling atmosphere that horror aficionados will appreciate. "Forsaken" offers a thought-provoking, albeit grim, exploration of spiritual boundaries and the darkness that lies beyond them.
