Anachronisms: The buried Christian church with its elaborate bas relief - the premise upon which the story is built - belongs at least a millennium later than the archeologist's asserted "1st century" date. Christianity at that time was a tiny, obscure, Jewish sect that met in people's homes in and around Palestine (a long way from England.) The gospels weren't even written until the last third of the 1st century, let alone cathedrals with renaissance statuary built on the other side of the known world. more
Quotes:
The Bishop: They came only to see, from the east and from the west, from the city and from the plain. They came not, in holy reverence to the lord, but in lust. more

Interesting film, I very much enjoyed the clever twist at the end (which I admit I wasn't expecting until close to the very end).
Relying on mysterious early-Christian mythology (a common theme in several recent films) it pulls the tie-in off fairly well and doesn't seem too outlandish or over the top in a supernatural sense.
Christina Ricci as always engenders feeling for her likable character and manner; as an American she seems a little strangely out of place in the English countryside setting but not overly so.
I'm quite Comfortable giving this film 8.5-9/10 and would consider it above films such as Lost Souls, etc. I've seen some compare it to the 6th Sense but I can't say I really agree with that comparative assessment myself.
