An immensely ominous air is established during the opening credits of Sacrifice as multicoloured smoke plumes dissipate against a black backdrop, evoking an eerie Argento ghost train vibe. When coupled with Tom Linden’s foreboding score, Sacrifice looked set to turn into a cracking skull-rattler from the outset and a cut above most other Dtv horrors.
Sadly though, despite this atmosphere remaining for most of its duration, this second feature from the team behind decent British horror Charismata, stammers from the midpoint on due to a clunky script, stiff dialogue and mostly forgettable characters.
Inspired by short story “Men of the Cloth” by Paul Kane and the works of Hp Lovecraft, the script tells the tale of thirty-somethings Isaac Pickman (Ludovic Hughes) and his pregnant wife Emma (Sophie Stevens), who travel to a remote Norwegian village from America to sell a family home which Isaac inherited after the death of his mother.
