It's good, watch it.
Essentially another version of .. Devil's Hour (minus the time travel), or The Man From Earth, with some minor Mouth Of Madness influences, it tells the story of an all-powerful demon possessing a prison inmate, and the confrontation with the psychiatrist that has to sign off on the execution of said inmate.
Being that it's basically just a single set and a ton of dialogues, then the dialogues become rather important. The basis is the catholic creation myth, the war in heave, the purpose of humanity, and free will.
Excellent performance from the lead Sean Flanery, good work from his counterpart Jordan Belfi. A few pacing issues which are common to these types of films.
If you're in the mood for a smart horror film that focuses on acting rather than jumpscares, this may interest you, although be prepared for a story rather limited in scope.
My vote: 7.2/10 - it could have been better, but it's not easy to say "how".

Aside from the fact that yet.another Pedro Pascal film, i am stupefied at why on earth i should dedicate two hours of my life to this .. thing.
Phoenix is a sheriff in a New Mexico town; he is .. how shall i put this; not a great human.
He is bad at his job. He is a covid denier. He is emotionally stunted, a poor communicator, can't even shoot!!, physically weak, unlikable, so when this laundry list of defects is complete, what exactly am i supposed to do with this character? Is he my protagonist, am i supposed to identify through him?
Likewise, Pascal is not much better. No-one is. You got the BLM kids, the alcoholics, the mentally-insane, conspiracy theorists, so .. what is the purpose of the film? Am i to expect enjoyment out of seeing all these characters killed?
Eventually the film devolves into an action-shooter when a .. idk, unexplained characters show up ..
it's .. horrible. Script-wise. Because otherwise it's well made, but WHY. Why on earth would you take any kind of care in a script that has nothing whatsoever to hook me in, to make me want to see what happens to the audience surrogate.
I swear, people need to go back to film school, like, filmmaking 101.
5.5/10 for the decent, but utterly misplaced performances.
