User Reviews

Very upset and Disappointed

My boyfriend and I rented this movie after seeing a preview for it. And I have to say I was mislead as to what the movie was about. As a horror genre fan, I went into this movie expecting a horror movie.

I respect what others may chose to believe, but please....keep it away from the horror genre. If this is what we can expect, at least issue a statement or warning(for lack of a better term) to us who don't want faith thrown in our faces.

Aside from that, acting and special effects were decent. Just very disappointed and would have preferred to rate this movie with a negative instead of the 1.
