Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The tension fizzles as The Sacrament narrows into predictability, indulging every cliche of found-footage filmmaking and Jonestown-styled cult apocalypticism.

rotten:
The Sacrament may not be a good movie, but it has enough virtues - enough gripping, well-put-together moments - that it made me reconsider my opinion of West as a director.

rotten:
Everything that happens is what you'd expect, and the choice of subject and the modifications West has made to the generic conventions don't add much to the suspense or thrills.
– Peter Keough,

rotten:
The first half is a cautiously dread-inducing tour de force... The second half, however, when all hell breaks loose a little too quickly, is the disappointment.

West's found-footage structure doesn't always entirely make sense, but it's easy to forgive "The Sacrament" its flaws.
