What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite being blessed with Jena Malone in the lead, Consecration serves up Catholic-themed horror that's far more hoary than hallowed.

3/5
Sure, it’s purest hokum, but real pride has gone into crafting it. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 02/12/2023
When the threat the characters are facing remains so vague for so long, it robs the story of tension. It doesn’t help that Smith keeps the horror elements to a minimum, or that the picture is so drably colored and dimly lit. Go to Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety 02/12/2023
Through it all... “Consecration” grows increasingly murky and blood-drenched and contrived. Go to Full Review Anya Couture Geek Vibes Nation 07/26/2025
4.5/10
If anything, Consecration knows how to get your attention at the start. But upon uncovering the details of its mystery, the movie grows tedious as it wears on. Go to Full Review Joey Keogh Vague Visages 06/17/2025
Consecration is a disjointed affair with sparks of interest scattered throughout that nonetheless ends up as a middling entry into the newly popular religious horror sub-genre. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 06/05/2025
4/5
…don’t listen to the haters, Consecration is a strong, beautifully shot, atmospheric and intelligent horror film worth commending; it’s certainly a good example of how genre tropes can be twisted to create something different from previous models… Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nader H 02/15/2023 Terrible plot, so dull. See more Jason 02/15/2023 It was good but it had too much downtime with sooo much talking See more David P 02/12/2023 It was awful and didn’t like it at all! See more Randy 02/11/2023 I took a chance on this movie, it was much better than i expected it to be,, overall a well acted "B" horror flick with a satisfying ending See more Jenn 02/11/2023 a good time! I recommend. See more Sam 02/10/2023 Good plot broadly speaking, but the execution was subpar. Too much emphasis on red herrings and not enough logic to make it rewatchable. The second viewing would leave you frustrated with plot holes and gaps in sense. See more Read all reviews
