DitM was surprisingly engaging and offered a well-earned payoff at the ending - well done!
I confess I didn't know what to expect and was brought to the theatre by my wife without any knowledge of the movie but I found the writing quite good, the direction emotional and the cinematography exciting in many places.
The acting was spotty with some great performances, some not so much, but it was never a barrier to genuine enjoyment.
For the faith audience I think you'll appreciate the whole set up, message, and rewarding resolution that doesn't cheapen the stakes with some kind of cheap, dues ex machina, 'everything is awesome' ending. Well done!

I love movies that have action and are suspenseful and this movie produced both. The acting was quality and the message was over the top. I have to say if anyone has given this a low rating, it's definitely because they have a problem with "Christian" movies in general. The story line was believable especially in the times we're living in. I highly recommend that everyone sees this movie. Disciples in the moonlight did not disappoint and you will leave the movie like we did, wondering how long we have before this could very well be a reality...Good job cast...Good job producers, you came up with a movie that's original!
I liked this movie so much more than I was expecting--beautifully shot, likable characters, and lots of surprises! I saw some say that this is an anti-american film and that couldn't be further from the truth. It's a What If scenario of events that are actually happening in other countries right now. People need to wake up and stop thinking "oh that would never happen in America." The film is asking "what would YOU do IF this was happening?" I get it, it makes people uncomfortable but not all Faith based films are "feel good" films, they're about asking hard questions about ourselves. See it before you judge it!
Barring The Emoji Movie, this is the worst thing I've seen in a theater.
Brett Varvel cannot act, always making the same constipated expression regardless of the emotion he's supposed to convey. The directing feels like a sitcom, with repetitive shot reverse shots and the same establishing shots used repeatedly across four bland, suburban sets. Occasionally, when the Christians are evading the evil secular government, we're treated to shadowy shots of forests and fields so dark you can't tell who's who or where they're going. The editing is a mix of mind-numbingly simple sequencing and incoherent transitions, all overseen by the leading actor himself, which at least makes it clear who to laugh at. Even if you believe being an American Christian makes you an oppressed minority, you'll have a hard time taking any of this corny film seriously.

This felt like a Christian hater movie. This would NEVER happen nor would real christian people allow this. This was absolutely terrible. A whole world hating the Bible then killing those who wanted to share the real Bible not the one they changed and took out so much information. I will never watch a movie from this director. Fake Christian if they claim they are for GOD. Again terrible movie.at the very end was they ONLY good thing about the movie. Smart and outsmarted the devil . The black guy was one of the good guys that made it. But the killing in this movie had no real grounds . Also was low budget made. It was difficult to keep Interest and the movie glitched a few times.

- TriviaAccording to the filmmakers, production was delayed for many years because many studios refused to believe the Bible would ever be outlawed in reality. In China however, the communist party rewrote parts of the Bible, even featuring Jesus stoning the woman caught in adultery.
