I find it funny how people highly rate movies like "Nefarious" well, but if a movie attempts to give the real gospel, and not Catholic pablum, yeah, People obviously hate it, cause they hate God, we get it, you hate him. I'm not gonna pretend this is great, it ain't, but it's easily above average, though heavy handed. Is give it a solid 5.5, I thought for a very low budget film, the acting and production values were solid. The script was where things feel short, lately because it goes from being an intriguing mystery to be far too heavy handed.
Things stayed fairly light on religious front, in fact Mike was fairly subtle, until we get to the parts where Robin/Old Nick enter the picture. Suddenly things take an extreme turn into the heavy handed, and it really hurts the story, I actually thought this was a good solid story. The Good part of it is still good, and the ending was sad, but actually kind of disturbing honestly. I thought also the devil was too easily able to hurt those who were supposed to be really solid Christians, but I guess it was a bit of a parasite for the spiritual battle on earth, it's not that they were possessed or lost their souls or anything, but they weren't able to stop Satan here.
I really wished, even as a Christian some of the heavy handed spiritual and Bible talk was ruined down for the sake of further developing the characters and story, again, because I liked the story, and I felt it came at things from a different angle. Include the gospel by all means, and a few scriptures, but please please, focus on the characters and story more.
