Haunted by Faith: Solo Review of Consecration (2023) with Jena Malone
11 Plays1 month ago
In this solo scream session, I do a quick dive into the eerie halls of Consecration (2023), the Scottish horror film starring Jena Malone. With its chilling atmosphere, religious dread, and a haunting performance from Malone, Consecration delivers more than your typical supernatural flick.
This movie is basically, 'Jena Malone carries the world'. It lives and dies with her performance and she delivers. I don't remember the last time I've reviewed a movie where one star has to carry the entire thing and it somehow ends up working even when they aren't on camera.
Malone is the person you can connect with and cheer for in one scene and be completely creeped out by in the next scene. This is the magic of Jena Malone in Consecration.
If you're into sinister nuns, psychological unraveling, and fog-drenched cliffs—this one’s for you. It's definitely a hidden gem and worth a view (or two).

Introduction and Theme
00:00:02
Speaker
ah Hello everyone, Joe here from Dublin. Not sure I'm talking like this, it's Dublin. Today's Dreamin' Demons, definitely not posh at all.
00:00:17
Speaker
We've got Consecration with Jenna Malone. All this and more. Now, so easy
Guest Host Introduction
00:00:26
Speaker
you one. What I really wanted to do was talk about this movie before I left.
00:00:30
Speaker
However, have a special new guest host and all the way from Dublin. I had to wait for the right moment to talk about Consecration. It's none other than Jennifer.
00:00:42
Speaker
Hello everyone, I am Jennifer. Jennifer, pleased to meet you here in Dublin. Thanks for coming out. No problems. Today we're gonna talk about Concentrations.
00:00:53
Speaker
Concentration, isn't that a game with... No, no, Concentrations. Elevation, the U2 song? No. The only band from Ireland, of course, is going to be... Whatever band you like.
00:01:06
Speaker
I'm not going to do the own entire thing. But I'm going back to my properness. So, in five minutes or less, here's the movie
Discussion on Consecration's Themes
00:01:15
Speaker
review. Consecration, Concentration, Concentration, Concentration.
00:01:19
Speaker
Nope, that's sponsored by this. is a fantastic film, honestly. It's not big on special effects. It is going to be, ooh, hello everyone.
00:01:33
Speaker
It's gonna be more big on story. It's a story-based film. It's a story-based film that is going to take place in Scotland. So if you like the Scottish accent, eh, I'm working on it.
00:01:46
Speaker
If you like that stuff, you're gonna think this is brilliant. It's not Scottish still. I'll get the accent white right once. But, but i have to tell you, if you find the church triggering, do not watch this movie.
00:02:00
Speaker
This is going to deep dive into the church. Which church? It don't fucking matter. It's all the same church, really. It's people with money against people without money. But, but, but, you see this journey of grace?
00:02:16
Speaker
Important name. Remember,
Plot Overview and Elements
00:02:18
Speaker
names are important. Look, name up grace if you don't understand what it means. importance and she is trying to reclaim the or maybe figure out how her brother died or reclaim the body a bit right doesn't make sense that he's dead and the mystery is kind of like the act b type thing right so she goes in she tries to figure stuff out and it is both a psychological drama and then a little bit of a supernatural-ish
00:02:48
Speaker
but it's supernatural based mostly or grounded mostly in reality. You're not going to go anything else. Now, there is a scene I have to tell you about. However, I have to say this about the Catholic Church first.
00:03:04
Speaker
What the book? And that's when I said. And that's all to say about the Catholic Church or any church really. So back to the movie. I'm going to tell you when I first asked for the screener, full confession, I thought I was...
00:03:17
Speaker
Jenna Maroney from 30 Rock, which is a fictitious fucking character. i was like, oh, I can't wait. Jenna's in this one. now Then realized, but is that her name? I don't think that's the name of the actress.
00:03:29
Speaker
And then I realized, no, no, no, no. It is not the actual name the
Performance and Narrative Structure
00:03:34
Speaker
actress. I was expecting Jenna, the wrong one to show up, but I'm glad the right one shows up because Malone just hits it on the park.
00:03:45
Speaker
She is both... Warm and scary. You know, she's somebody could connect with and then go like, what the fuck? And i love the way they set a lot of the scenes.
00:03:57
Speaker
You don't get the full picture until the turn, which is fine. And it makes you keep on thinking or rethinking and rethinking. it you know, it's like the why done it or, you know, not the who done it, but the why done it's.
00:04:09
Speaker
like Blake Snyder would say. And it's a bit more of a mystery. It's a bit more of mystery. You don't need a lot of church dogma. You don't need to know any of that stuff. You can just go along as a horror supernatural and I think you'll be just fine.
Recommendation and Closing
00:04:26
Speaker
I love this film. actually watched it before I left and I watched it again. It's just the second time I watched it, so it's still fresh my mind. You should go get it streaming all everywhere on June 16th.
00:04:38
Speaker
Holy shit, that was yesterday. So get in your cab, go in your time. If you can do time travel, go back and go, my God, I'll do it yesterday. Or just watch it today. It's consecration. I even said it right the first time ever.
00:04:51
Speaker
All this and more on New Streaming Demons. Bye, y'all.
