Review:

You know what, screw the critics and the bashers because I thought this religious themed horror/thriller was very entertaining, goofy, funny and at the same time thrilling, this is not a boring flick folks. Sure it's not the brightest movie and is very predictable but saying it's boring with bad acting and calling it the worst movie of the year as some people are claiming, NO WAY! I've seen way worse movies out there with bad acting like the other religious themed horror movie House, now that one sucked and was a snoozefest. The acting in this film isn't the best ever but it isn't horrible as people are saying and at least they make it interesting and fun in a late night grindhouse flick sort of way and that's fine by me because it didn't bore me but I have to say that it has a pretty random cast of stars in this movie. This was pretty graphic and violent at times but it wasn't as gory as I thought it would be and it was almost more of a action flick than anything but there was some fun, creepy and wacky scenes here and there. My one complaint is that there was too much dialogue and jibber jabbing between scenes and not enough demon attacks and it could of had a better conclusion. Overall it moved at a fast enough pace, was fun and entertaining with a likable yet random cast, had enough action and thrills and at parts was goofy and funny, not one dull moment for me and what else could you want and expect from a movie especially like this one, definitely not the atrocious, dull movie I was expecting. Overall go in with very low expectations, don't take it seriously and you might have a good time with this popcorn flick, I know I did. Recommended! More of a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
