English Just when you think there might be something that will captivate you in the end, something that will at least slightly tip the scales in favor of quality, suddenly it's over and nothing significant really happened. Death of the Virgin is just an attempt to film atmospheric horror, but without the creators having any idea what they actually want to shoot. The horror is fading away from horror movies, even from those directly focused on atmosphere, which is quite dismal. ()
