The Christ Slayer

What a long stretch. It is advertised as a 'mix' of legend and scripture. You should never 'add' to scripture like this. It was going good until all of a sudden they merged the story of Longinus (and was he really blind?) with the Road to Emaus (Cleopas). How do you all of a sudden just change your name to fit the script? Then it was slow and boring and downhill from there. This is blasphemy to scripture and should not be considered a Christian film. In addition, discrimination for the down syndrome people by saying 'your kind' when he wanted him to stay behind. Not good. Stay away.

The last part of Quest trilogy deserves many critics. To ignore of Biblical accuracy of way to Emaus to the dialogues, not always more than didacticist moments.

But , obvious, important for its makers was the message.

And, maybe, not exactly a message, so familiar for Christians, than the remind of it.

It is a film defined by touching scenes. By a sort of melancholia and well crafted encouragements. A simple story, a correct acting, not a demonstration of impressive skils of actors or great technology but a decent return to the Holy Scripture word.

And, part surprising, it works just well.

So, a christian movie. Decent, touching, useful, not the last.

What started off slow soon took me on a journey of mystery and emotions. This familiar tale told from a new perspective was refreshing and brought new insight of why things happened the way they did. The actors did an amazing job of portraying the characters they played. The addition of just the right amount of humor added a refreshing and comforting feel to a not so comforting subject. This is a truly joyful film to share with family and friends.

As a non-christian, and former Christian my perspective of this movie not be valid to many of you.

The Christ Slayer is an excellent adventure that lacks any type of feel that you're being preached at throughout the movie. It is entertaining enough to watch as a stand-alone movie howrver, it being the 3rd installment of The Quest Trilogy, I definitely have to rank this one above each one of the rest.

There are powerful moments in the film that I am sure that "believers" are really going to take to. There is a message in this movie that delivers itself as non-denominational, however it is very evident that it isis biblical story.

The music is great, SFX is so-so, the story is serious enough that the light-heartedness of certain moments come across genuine and find a great balance.

Enjoy the film!

As part 3 of the series, I thought this film was a fantastic retelling of the life of Christ.
