Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
[A] mediocre picture.
There's a lot going on, a lot of theology, a lot of bad horror movie effects.
The down time between action scenes is deadly dull and the film's hoary cinematic shorthand (i.e., a young Black man enters the film to the sound of hip-hop and fights with his baby mama) is more terrifying than anything else served up.
This feature debut by writer-director Scott Stewart may sound like an enjoyably goofy theo-horror romp, but it's a serious penance.
