    THIS IS A RIVETING CHRISTIAN THRILLER

    Great Film, we loved the suspense and plot twists. It stirred a lot of group discussion concerning our walk as christians, which is a needed element in todays society! Great cast, production, and plot!

    You can't be serious.

    This is hilarious.

    I laughed so hard at this movie. 99 times out of 100 when people tell me to watch a bad movie because it's fun to laugh at, it's not fun. It's just pathetic to watch. But THIS is different. I can't help but wonder if this movie isn't misunderstood satire. I was laughing my pants off by the end at the direction everything went. This is underrated satire treasure.

    Serviceable thriller

    The story and plot are quite workable as a thriller drama. Production value is low in this obviously low budget indie so I think it's become underrated because of that. If you just watch it and go with it, ignore the low production values, it keeps you hooked throughout, even a few twists. I enjoyed it.

    Loving thy neighbor at a cost

    This was an interesting storyline about a young pastor who evangelizes his neighbor who seems to be intent on hurting his family. This thriller will leave you questioning the next time you reach out to the lost in an effort to bring them to faith.

    Unusual Christian thriller. Worth the watch.

    Yes, the writing could be better. But there was a few subtleties and decent lines, and the plot as a whole was good. So the writers, yes, could develop their skills more, but also did have talent. So many independent Christian films are filled with poor lines after poor line. Most casting? Could be better. But the neighbor....spot on. He was creepy, I believed his character. They could cast him in criminal minds. They set up the ending well, all the key components were laid out even if you don't realize it at first. It's not overly preachy, that's the point. It's not fully about preaching, or else the ending would be very different. The ending IS about redemption. The end IS about God's love. And IS about each and every verse about Thy Neighbor.
