The Church

If they're not going for an R rating or at least eerie atmosphere over very cheap playstation2 graphics they shouldn't have made this movie. I wasn't expecting much but when the awful digital effects started it just took me out of this movie. I still hung in there because I hate to not finish a movie, but it just got worse. The ending just doesn't make any sense and trys to make some points of being something larger taking place but utterly fails at be compelling . This movie is really boring , which is the cardinal sin of any movie.

Low budget crap made with a bunch of gift certificates or some desperate gofundme production. Just watch the trailer and save time on this pos.

The overall storyline MIGHT have had potential, but: 1) Acting is really bad, all the way around 2) Special effects are not even as good as a mediocre1970s Saturday afternoon matinee.

I think with decent writing, the storyline could have had a chance, but inspiration was obviously lacking on their parts.

There's really not much more to say except please don't waste your time looking for anything in this hour-and-a-half waste of film that might actually redeem it or the actors. It's just not going to be there. You'd have a better time getting your teeth cleaned or changing your automobile's wiper blades.

Whomever rated this movie a 10 must have been in it. The storyline was pretty good but that's about it. This movie had potential but the special effects were horrible and the acting was laughable.

Okay, well it is no secret that I was more than thrilled to get to watch the 2018 movie "The Church" from director and writer Dom Frank given the fact that this is a horror movie and it has the iconic horror legend Bill Moseley in it.

Well, you might want to hold your horses there for a minute. This movie was bad. Let's not beat around the bush. It was horrible. Whereas the 1989 movie with the same title, "The Church", from director Michele Soavi seemed like a grand masterpiece in comparison. Sure, the 2019 movie wasn't a remake of the 1989 movie.

The storyline in this 2019 movie "The Church" is simplistic. A pastor stands at the threshold of cashing in to a company and selling his church in favor of a large cash reward, which could buy him a new church, a new house, a new car and send him on a dream vacation. However, when confronted with the greed and arrogance of his folly, the spirit of Alexander James (played by none other than Clint Howard) comes forth to set things right.

On paper, the storyline might have seemed good. But in translation to the screen, it just all went south pretty fast. And not even Bill Moseley could manage to salvage this train wreck of a movie.

The special effects team really got around their job and task so easily, because the special effects in "The Church" were atrocious when taking into consideration that the movie was made in 2018.

As for the characters as the acting, nah. Let's not venture there. The only thing worthwhile mentioning here is Bill Moseley.

All in all, "The Church" was a massive disappointment. Yet I managed to endure through the movie in its entire length, hoping that the movie would eventually take a turn for the better. Sadly, that never happened. "The Church" lands a meager three out of ten stars rating from me.
