Horror Vault's take

Set in 1970s Rome, a young American novitiate arrives to dedicate herself to the Church, only to find her convictions tested by a creeping, insidious evil lurking beneath its sacred walls. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a conspiracy of staggering ambition — one tied to ancient prophecy and the deliberate orchestration of something monstrous. The film serves as a prequel to the classic Antichrist mythology, expanding the lore with a fresh perspective centered on a woman caught between devotion and horror. Atmospheric dread and a morally complex story make this far more than a simple franchise cash-in.
