Simply A Masterpiece
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Pastor Peterson (Anthony Hackett) gets a phone call from someone who he had counseled years ago and whose life was subsequently ruined. The caller claims to have kidnapped the son and forces the pastor via phone to do things. Most of the film consists of the pastor talking on the phone with many close-ups of Anthony Hackett who also wrote, directed, and produced the film after handing out communion wafers no doubt. He was nice enough to claim GOD inspired the film and also came down to earth to be his executive producer. It showed as the acting and dialogue were GOD awful. There was a decent scene about 45 minutes into the film when two people walked, (I should have taken the hint.) but other than that, watching a guy talk on the phone for over an hour, is what you are going to get.The intent of the film is to demonstrate that forgiveness makes for a lousy film.No swearing sex or nudity because GOD would not approve.
This is disgusting,who makes a movie saying inspired by God, executive producer God with this type of content. If I could have gone public when this movie was made to get it banned I would have. This is disgusting, I don't care how this movie ends but to have a mother kill herself and a baby killed and use God's name in this....how disgusting are you people. I have never been so disgusted by a movie in my life, and I have watched A lot of movies. I seems I need more lines to post this, what more can a person say besides .... Are you trying to win souls for God, or turn souls away from God...murder and suicide in Gods name....seriously....seriously?..again...seriously
