Rupert Wainwright directs Patricia Arquette, Gabriel Byrne and Jonathan Pryce in this horror where a hairdresser comes into possession of a cursed rosary and starts bleeding out of holes.

Very nu metal in its visuals, like watching a 100 minute Evanescence music video. There is too much forced atmosphere, not enough dread. I cannot think of any other horror flick where not a soul dies. There is a creepy papal conspiracy that doesn’t make a jot of sense. You’d expect Arquette and Byrne being paired off to bring more heat too.
