    Click-bait

    Another atrocious film that baits you with an inflated rating score only to laugh at yourself for falling for it. Weak script with weaker acting and direction. This is a PBS after-school special...at best.

    Rating Sins

    When this review was being written the rating was 8.1., which is downright ridiculous. The rating was definitely artificially boosted by the people who were involved in the making of this film.

    The rating this movie now has, has no relation to the film. The story was dull, monotonous and full of lame stereotype remarks. The acting was below average, characters couldn't put any good performance because of their lack of skills and for the low grade script which was riddled with terrible cliches.

    It would be unwise to waste time by watching this film. There are lot of ways to waste time, but unquestionably this movie is not one of them. NOT RECOMMENDED,

    My christian mom would've enjoyed this, I didn't.

    Its a bit below-average film I fell in believing the 7.5-non deserved-score

    This is an anti-drugs film made for highscoolers educators to try to fit in a message for "the masses". Only instead of drugs is lack of faith and how God is the answer.

    Don't watch it if you don't enjoy being a christian.

    Excellent film about redemption and coming to terms with the past

    A fantastic film about dealing with demons and eventually being saved by grace. I can't recommend it enough. It's a grittier take than you might be accustomed to, but I really think that helps to drive home the point that you can be saved by God's grace no matter how far you stray or what you've done. This is a raw take on hitting rock bottom, only to be saved by God's amazing love.

    Boring, below average, seen1000 times story

    Nothing original here you know already how it ends up after 5 min of watching. Boring, I really don't understand the 8.2 rating?!?!

    From the title I thought it was a kind of challenge to religion of similar story related to it which is very much a popular topic nowadays. The truth is: It's just an attempt to produce a feeling good movie: go to Church and solve all your problems. Good luck.

    I wouldn't recommend it.
