A Closer Walk with Thee

The people who are rating this poorly didn't get the joke. It's not a homophobic movie. It's making fun of homophobes!

I was put off at first because for some reason, Amazon Prime classified this as a comedy. The story concerns a small church community in an old house in a not-so-great neighborhood of Los Angeles. A young man, Jordan, has a secret attraction for the pastor, Eli. He keeps it hidden until discovered and outed by another resident. Eli proceeds to exorcise the "demon" out of him. There is much more to the plot. I won't spoil it. The ending is horrific. It was well acted, particularly the two lead actors. Recommended if you have strong nerves.

It starts shaky because they are some sort of young Christian missionaries probably in a foreign country, I'm completely serious they don't say where they are or why they're there or what denomination they are. Then it's a storyline about gay urges, baptisms, exorcisms, and street gangs. Just when you think you have it figured out they seem to switch writers because the whole time of the movie as well as some of the characters personalities completely change for no apparent reason and they add aspects to the plot that would have been part since the beginning but you only find out 80% into the movie.

Terrible story with the seemingly sole purpose of bashing Christians and actors that couldn't pull their weight in a 3rd grade play. This is a complete turd from start to finish. I'm getting really tired of movies that exist only to push someone's political or religious views and this movie is the perfect example. Complete waste of time.

Yet another film linking homosexuality with religion, only this time we get to see it treated more as a horror flick. Acting was sufficient, but although this is a horror movie, I found myself cracking up at times....at some of the most unbelievable scenes. In the end, the pansy Christian boy gets the last laugh, but not before he finally gets to consummate his lust for the naked hot preacher man. Not too bad for a student project.
