Negative Positive
Title: Severely Overrated
Review: Satan's son has arrived and he's not about to let his human parents get in his way. Christian horror movies tend to have overly simplistic, boring, juvenile theological foundations, and this is no exception. The hysterical priest is unintentionally comical in his over-the-top, Bellevue-esque rampages (I laughed out loud when he claimed that some dude named Bugenhagen was the only one on planet Earth who had a solution). The scoring is also surprisingly terrible. It's simply too overused, generic, abrupt, and intrusive to be enjoyable. It seemed like every single minute of running time ends with some kind of lame soundtrack getting blared in my ears in an amateurish attempt to force emotions onto me. There are a few cool death scenes, but they used too many "animal going psycho" scenarios which felt kinda lazy. Atmosphere is minimized, there's no sense of dread at any point, and the ending is unsatisfying. This is an overrated "classic" in my eyes.
