Almost all critics are trying to bury this movie because it is right-wing and Christian (all the other left-wing anti-Christian movies were never a problem though).
The movie is a cheap production, all the major plot revolves around two guys chatting in a room, but the dialog is really well written and both actors are doing a great performance.
It is also very different from modern horror movies, it does not contain jumpscares and shaky cameras. It would probably be better classified as a psychological thriller.
Even if you are not religious but have some interest in Christian lore you will probably enjoy it.
My one complaint with the movie (from a film/storytelling standpoint) is that it would have been a better film if it ended a scene earlier, but because of who it is marketed to they have to add a final scene to soften tone of the movie. It also had one or two points that I thought were theologically inaccurate, but it was otherwise a pretty decent movie.
yeah, I do agree, the Glenn Beck cameo was unnecessary.
Glenn Beck was one of the financiers and his network is the one the writer is on, if anything that cameo doubled their ticket sale’s because it’s an official stamp of approval for the message and a guarantee the movie isn’t woke dribble
What parts were those?
I don't recall specifically. Something about the nature/person of God and/or the power/role/creation of angels/demons probably.
I think the movie is based on thomistic interpretation of Lucifer's revolt wich is very interesting, but some protestants may not find it completely "biblical." Some calvinists may even disagree entirely.
