I had high hopes for this when I saw it in on Prime as a new supernatural horror for 2024 and read the synopsis of the return of the messiah and antichrist. This sort of thing is usually right up my street.
But this doesn't deliver. Despite good production, good acting and seemingly a high budget, it just lacks. It is melodramatic and hyperbolic. I found no atmosphere or intrigue. Far too contrived and 'try hard'. I've more enjoyed some of the low budget films like 'The Entity Project' and 'The Atticus Institute ' than this. Trying too hard to be profound but it's very empty for me and the extreme violence and gore are an attempt to make it for it.
