Altar is a 2016 horror movie directed by Matthew Sconce. The movie follows a young couple, Liz (Stefanie Estes) and Alec (Tim Parrish), as they move into a remote countryside mansion with their young daughter Penny (Jessica Strand). The couple is trying to overcome a previous tragedy, and they are hoping that a fresh start will help them heal.

The mansion is very old and has a long history of mysterious deaths and hauntings. Liz starts to experience strange and terrifying occurrences around the house, and she becomes convinced that there is something evil in the mansion. While Alec is skeptical at first, he starts to believe that there might be something supernatural going on when he starts to see and experience things for himself.

Things take a turn for the worse when their daughter Penny is taken by a mysterious force, and Liz and Alec must override their skepticism and seek the help of a paranormal investigator, Father Callahan (Brittany Falardeau), who has her own tragic past. Together, they must work against time to uncover the secrets of the mansion and stop the evil force before it's too late.

The movie is written by Jesse Wheeler and Matthew Sconce and features fantastic performances by the cast. Stefanie Estes shines in her role as Liz, portraying her as a woman who is traumatized by her past and is trying her best to protect her family. Tim Parrish is also brilliant as Alec, who starts out as a skeptic before being forced to confront the supernatural force that is terrorizing his family.

Brittany Falardeau gives an excellent portrayal of the determined and skilled paranormal investigator, Father Callahan, who is willing to put herself in harm's way to protect the family. Her presence in the movie adds another layer of suspense and intrigue.

The movie's cinematography is also very impressive. The mansion itself is shot beautifully, with its gothic architecture and eerie atmosphere adding to the movie's unsettling tone. The camera angles and lighting capture the horror elements of the movie perfectly, making for a truly terrifying experience.

Overall, Altar is a genuinely creepy horror movie that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. It's not just about jump scares, but rather a well-thought-out storyline, rounded characters, and a setting that only adds to the horror element. The movie is a must-watch for horror fans who enjoy movies that are genuinely bad, and not just silly or ridiculous.
