    Feels like a 2000s cheesy horror flick, and not a terrible one at that! The "Taker of Children" entity was pretty cool and I liked the folklore backstory. The mortuary setting was a great addition. It was pretty wild at times and entertaining but i'd be lying if I said any…

    Fresh off of Passover, it seems appropriate that The Offering reminds me so much of matzah. Which is to say it’s flat, thin, bland, cheap, and desperately needing sauce or cheese or sugar to make it palatable.

    Loved the story & the ending!  Unfortunately the demon was not scary, so much so that it brought down the film.  I’d have preferred to have been shown less of that demon. There’s no shame if the budget or vision isn’t fully realized - often what isn’t seen is scarier than…

    Score : 7.5/10 ✅ Don’t know why I feel alone with my score, which feels pretty high compared to the rest, but I sincerely thought it was quite solid. It’s another folklore film with a ton of jump scare and demon rituals but done right. I actually got scared a few…

    Pretty generic with cheap jump scares. 93 minutes long but it felt like 2hrs. Some decent performances are the highlight for me. Didn't expect much with this so I'm not surprised.

Ultimately, my problem with so many religious horror films like “The Offering” is that they’re insulated in a way that makes them more often boring than terrifying, willing to let a languid pace try to set the mood instead of actual plotting.

The plot is pretty routine, but its finer points about religious faith and rituals give the creep-outs and jump-scares real nuance. What makes this such a satisfying horror film is its cultural specificity.

The Offering won’t get any points for originality, but people looking for well-crafted horror can’t go wrong with Park’s latest film.
