Just wanted to say that I just saw this film and wanted to congratulate the cast and the filmmakers for their efforts. Really had me rolling with laughter. Best short I've seen in awhile. Keep up the good work. Really enjoyed the little girl's performance. Usually children actors play at being a child in films. This one I really felt like she was natural and not forced. The lead was also very funny and played JC with great humility and pathos. So glad to see that so much attention was given to character in this piece. There actually was a story arc that one could follow. Having said all that my only regret was that the ending seemed a bit rushed. Wished there was just a bit more. Also the sound could have been a bit better - granted I saw this online but still there were some parts that I couldn't quite hear. But overall a most enjoyable film and one that I'll definitely refer my friends to.

I really thought this short was cute and oddly insightful. It's a bit weak on production value but then again most student films always seem to lack in this area. It's a good try though and the acting is funny if a tad forced. I'd like to see what this group could do with more money and a larger script. Seems it could play well in a niche market and even do well with the college kids. Worse part is the sound. Again a constant problem with most student films which I've seen. Somebody should get these kids better equipment or something. The little girl is precious and Satan is done with great flair. The young actor who played the title role was great as well. Keep up the good work guys.

Unfortunately this film lacks any real story worth watching. I viewed it a couple of times and strained to find any meaning. Technically this movie is a disaster, complete with blown-out dialogue, images too dark to see anything, and a plot that should reserve itself for a cemetery...underground where no one should see it. The overacting lends itself to a kind of slapstick comedy where the jokes are padded and grossly misused. I kept searching for any coherence of story and could not find any. Sequence to sequence there is no apparent connection between scenes nor is there any plausible explanation for the characters' motivation. If you enjoy childish, irreverent humor for the sake of having nothing better to do with twenty minutes then this movie is for you. That is, if you can see it or hear it. Believe me, this movie is not offensive to those with faith, but rather would offend you with its utter lack of taste.
