I feel that the film is not anti-Christian. I don't think Martin Scorsese was trying to make something offensive to Christians. The film is very interesting and the filmmaking is marvelous. It's interesting in that Jesus and the disciples were never like this in the gospels (Judas being one of the main characters of the film but has a very different presence in the Bible).
The film is very human. You can tell that this film was made by humans, and written by a human with intentions to make a story for Art's sake. For me, this film is in the name of art. This movie is not propaganda, or a cult conversion tape, but a way of looking at the character of Christ and the disciples and making a meditation on Christ's Crucifixion. That's what art is all about.
I know the story of Christ's crucifixion and this movie doesn't question the Bible at all. The cautionary opening should make that clear, but there's no accounting for taste.

It's a b-movie style movie. It kinda reminded me of the Goosebumps tv show. I was a little disappointed that Felissa Rose wasn't in it more but I was surprised about how good the movie was.
Camera work is pretty good, the story makes sense, the movie makes the story make sense, it's nicely paced, no idea is shoved down your throat, and it plays on horror stereotypes very well; again not shoved down your throat.
The editing's pretty good too. It feels like a good student film (not to put it down)
But give it a try!!

It's a film that's meant to be fun and that's it! I don't think the filmmakers were trying to make a quality film. The situations though are kind of interesting, I think the worst part of the movie really is the score. The film score just sucks on so many levels.
Felissa Rose is by FAR the best actor in the film. I would even say she did a great job knowing that this was her first film since "Sleepaway Camp." And the fact that Lloyd Kaufman is in it makes for a great moment!
Considering what they were trying to accomplish, it doesn't seem that far-fetched to say they did a pretty bang up job (minus the music).
The camera work and sound design is pretty funky as well; some of the actors are pretty terrible too but if all those things were fixed then I think the result would be similar to "Evil Dead" or "Dead Alive" even.
And like I said it's way more watchable than let's say "Troma's War."
