The Order
Within the ancient heart of Rome and the shadowed corridors of the Vatican, a psychological thriller unfolds centered around Father Alex Bernier, dispatched to unravel a series of unsettling deaths plaguing a clandestine order within the Catholic Church. His investigation plunges him into a world of forbidden mysticism and the archaic practice of “sin-eating”—the ritual absorption of another’s guilt—exposing a legacy of dark secrets meticulously guarded for centuries. The film distinguishes itself not through jump scares, but through a creeping dread fueled by theological debate and a palpable sense of moral decay, exploring the burden of inherited sin and the perilous quest for personal repentance. Bernier’s journey isn't simply an investigation, but a descent into a spiritual crisis, forcing him to question the very foundations of his faith as he confronts an evil born from the Church's own hidden history and a potentially nihilistic theology.
