Brilliantly crafted, thrilling, and thought provoking,It contains an interesting message: beware of religious fanatics, beware of those zealous followers of the occult, who kill in the name of their divine. The movie can definitely be regarded as an allegory about the church, judging from the cross-shaped weapons used by the religious group.The core of the movie is smartly wrapped in gory graphics and an intense story. Stabbing, decapitating, cutting a baby out of a pregnant woman... all those scenes are literally bloody powerful.The end of the movie is quite intriguing. From every religious fanatic's body, a demon crept out in the style of ALIEN. Beautiful! Devil's inside every religious fanatic.

OMG, I watched this movie because of all the good reviews. Are you guys kidding me? How could you give this anymore than one star? I mean, really? Did you swap some of those little white pills before you wrote those reviews? If so, what the hell was in them?Here's the deal. First it's cheaply made and could have some good thrills if the story bothered to make any sense and it wasn't so darn predictable. Also, I'm tired of these whacko film makers dragging Christians into their cultist films. If you look at all the crazy cults (many of which the Hollywood types subscribe) they are all new age cults. Never has a Christian church (even the whacko ones) ever made their members commit murder or suicide. The morons that wrote this obviously didn't bother to do some basic research. According to the story the Apocalypse is among us and the Christian whacko cult is killing every non-member to save their souls because the devil will rise them up as demons. I have a novel idea, how about at least reading the book of Apocalypse in the bible before doing a movie about it? If they bothered to spend five-minutes reading the very text of which their film is based, then they would have known that it's not the devil that rises the dead but God, and he does it so they can be judged. Nowhere are any of the dead ever risen as demons. For argument sake, lets say the writer was clever and the movie is based on more of a comic book universe with a different bible and different set of rules. Quite honestly I know the film makers aren't' that clever because I saw their piece of crap of a film, but hey, let's give them the benefit of the doubt. So, at the end demons arise from the dead but I thought I saw one climb out of a dead Christian cult body. So, what the heck? Were the Christian cultists the ones who weren't saved or did the demons come from the people they killed? You never know because the film doesn't make it clear. Overall, the movie sucked. Regardless, I'm really sick of theses film makers portraying Christianity and the bible so inaccurately that those that aren't Christian tend to think that these are really our beliefs.

Better than expected horror thriller though the twist ending was predictable within a few minutes. It's no FRAILTY (which is has a certain superficial resemblance to) but it has it's moments.I do have to wonder why in God's name they put the ending of the film on the DVD cover!!! You will spend the whole movie wondering when the demons will show up, which gives an excellent clue as to where the film is going. Clearly the marketers didn't care as much as the filmmakers.Some might object to the way the religious people are being represented; get over it. You should be made of sterner stuff anyway. Besides, it's the crazy whack jobs that give religion a bad name, truly religious people should be the ones in the front line denouncing them.

The gore in this film (a relatively low budgeter) is pretty impressive - so gore fans will not be disappointed - in fact there are two scenes that are as well done and realistic looking as I have ever seen. The cliché in so many films is someone wields a sword and they cut a human head off like slicing a banana in two - but the reality is it is rather hard to sever a head. And in this film it is not clean or easy. And there are scenes with crowbars and hammers hitting people in the head that is gross, disturbing and real looking. And even the plot of a crazy religious cult being ordered to kill has a lot of potential - but the film is all over the place - it can't decide what it wants to be - so it takes a little from Night Of The Living Dead, a bit from The Rapture, a little Carrie, etc. The acting is only average - the writing is pretty lame and as I've stated, the gore is very well done. But after awhile even the gore becomes repetitive - there really is no shock and you are left with a "really???" feeling at the end.
