Enthusiasm for yet another DIY handycam/found-footage-style shocker may be all but exhausted, but this homegrown ghost-hunting creepfest has a few well orchestrated tricks up its sleeve. Enlisted to investigate paranormal manifestations in a remote west country church, a wide-eyed agnostic techie joins two dour priests with experience of uncovering otherworldly fraud. Long-term Ben Wheatley collaborator Robin Hill sparks nicely with the taciturn Gordon Kennedy, establishing a quasi-comedic on-screen chemistry that ironically helps underpin the unfolding horror. Much of the build-up may retread familiar The Last Exorcism territory, but the claustrophobic final act is properly alarming scary fare.
