Benediction (2022) presents a haunting exploration of despair and faith. The rural Mississippi backdrop adds a palpable tension, it's eerie but also strangely intimate. The pacing has this slow burn quality, luring you into the unease of the protagonist’s journey. Practical effects are minimal but effective, relying more on atmosphere than gore to evoke chills. The performances are raw and authentic, especially from the lead, whose portrayal of a broken woman searching for solace feels both fragile and fierce. You really feel the weight of her search through the church's rituals and the unsettling truths she uncovers. It’s a film that lingers, unsettling yet thought-provoking.
