Marco L @decatur555 Nov 5, 2026 A strong setup involving a cult, old videotapes and a decades-old mystery gives The Veil more potential than the finished film ultimately delivers. The 1984 footage is easily the most interesting material, gradually revealing the darker side of the community and giving Thomas Jane room to play the charismatic leader with suitably excessive intensity. Lily Rabe adds weight to the present-day investigation, while Jessica Alba is given less to work with. The problem is that the more the film explains, the more conventional it becomes. What starts as an intriguing story about blind faith, manipulation and collective trauma drifts into familiar supernatural-horror territory, with shallow supporting characters and an uneven pace. There are some effective images and a decent atmosphere, but too many genre clichés dilute the initial mystery. Not a disaster, just a very average horror film that wastes a better premise than it ultimately deserves. See more

Mike A @RT59427959 Oct 11, 2024 Thomas Jane was great. The rest of the film was interesting but mediocre. See more

Elvis D @Elvis-Del-Valle Aug 10, 2023 Este thriller de Blumhouse ofrece una historia de suspenso sobrenatural con una premisa interesante y algo llamativa, pero la película se siente algo limitada en la ejecución. El ritmo es algo vago y lento y la tensión requería de más potencia. El concepto de la secta cuyas almas puedes poseer los cuerpos de otras personas es fascinante, pero requería de una mejor ejecución en esta película. Al principio, la película no es muy emocionante y llega a aburrir un poco, pero a medida que avanza, va despertando un poco de interés. En conclusión, The Vail es una película demasiado regular que necesitaba de una mejor ejecución. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 7/10. See more

Dec 14, 2019 Completely underwhelming. Yeah, I know it wasn't a big budget film, but it was far from what I expected. A little character development would have been nice, and perhaps allowed the viewer to empathize with the lackluster cast as they slogged through this predictable yarn. It felt stitched together from varied pieces of actual true events, and sewn haphazardly together into a less than believable, tapestry of sorrow. Find a better way to waste 90 plus minutes of your time than this. Hug a porcupine, or perhaps a dip in a septic tank... Avoid this clunker at all costs. See more

ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 Nov 30, 2019 The Veil is a disappointing film. It is about the lone survivor of a mass cult suicide who returns to the scene of the tragedy. Lily Rabe and Jessica Alba give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Phil Joanou did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. See more
