'Consecration'

This week's entry into horror's possession sub-genre is "Consecration," a new IFC Films-distributed chiller that plays more like a supernatural mystery than a straight-up horror movie. As it turns out, looking at it that way works in the film's favor considering there isn't a single scare to be found in the movie's lean 90-minute runtime. Unfortunately the mystery itself is never that compelling, and sticking with the story as we wait for the eventual payoff ends up being a test of patience.
