FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
billdron Never heard anything about this movie but thoroughly enjoyed it. Such a great story with good acting
rsricksherwood This is one of the best and enjoyable Christian movies that I have seen in a long time applying an 'everyday life' theme - well done guys! This film gives a very good and heavy example of someone who - yes he lied about his believe in Jesus - but Jesus changed his life through the believers in the play. Great chemistry in the Spirit with everyone. Kudos to the play and excellent story line and I pray that the Lord opens more opportunities for this group. What's next?
Andreas Zeller I would like to say that the worst part about the movie is the score/music. I was trying to figure out what it reminded me of. And there it was. My friend used to play "The Sims" all the time. I think they stole it there :)About the rest of the film: I switched it off about an hour into the movie when something dramatic was happening and I couldn't take it any more. The acting is so horrible. I don't buy the not-so-Christian Hollywood dude, and I bet he's going to become a real Christian by the end of the movie, and I don't buy the girl either.I guess that is what happens when you have a very weak script and try to force god into the story. Finish it up with a bunch of bad actors and you end up with a very bad film.I gave it 2/10 because cinematography wasn't all bad. Everything else was horrible.
Brian Bentel Watch out for this one. I saw the preview and it looked like it might be a feel-good and funny film. I took my wife to the theater and we were the ONLY people sitting in there. I soon found out why. About 30 seconds into the thing you can see it's low-budget -- audio in the first scene echoes. But that's not the problem. The problem is the script. It's NOT funny, though occasionally tries to be. Neither is it original, clever, or particularly believable. The actors have little to work with, and much of the time even if they did I don't think they could pull it off. Brett Dalton was great in Agents of Shield, but he generally sucks here. I guess everybody has bills to pay! DB Sweeney is also a decent actor, and probably the best this film had to offer, but his character -- like all of them in this film -- is one-dimensional and not likable. To be fair, there are some decent, emotionally moving scenes, mainly toward the very predictable end. The film is clearly designed with the hope of converting people to Christianity, and seems funded by organizations with that purpose. That's fine, but at least be entertaining in the process for those of us who have no interest. I basically felt duped about 3 minutes into this thing -- I wanted my $20 and 90 minutes back. I think very simple people who ALREADY are serious Christians might enjoy it, but this thing is basically crap.
