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!
Disciples In The Moonlight (2024) is a cinematic fever dream, a glimpse into a bizarre alternate reality where conservatives' persecution fantasies run wild. It seems the only oppression they can find is in the realm of shoddy fiction, a world where their fervent desire to be silenced and marginalized finally comes true. This film is a testament to that yearning, a desperate cry for victimhood that echoes through a right-wing funhouse mirror in the Twilight Zone.
The plot is as predictable as it is ludicrous, with cardboard cutout characters spouting tired clichés about religious freedom under attack. The acting is uniformly awful, with each performer seemingly vying for the title of "Most Melodramatic Martyr." The cinematography is dull and lifeless, mirroring the film's intellectual vacuity.
Disciples In The Moonlight is not just a bad film; it's a window into a distorted worldview where reality is twisted to fit a pre-determined narrative. It's a film that thrives on fear and resentment, preying on the anxieties of those who feel threatened by a changing world. If you're looking for a thought-provoking and nuanced exploration of faith and freedom, look elsewhere. This film offers nothing but cheap thrills and hollow propaganda.

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!
I'm a Christian, I thought the premise was intriguing. I ignored the negative reviews at my own peril--what a mistake!
Every scene is dripping with nonsense and cringe. There are so many characters with their own pointless story.
It's as if someone took a premise, plugged it into ChatGPT, and had it include things like 'humor', 'action', 'love'.
I would have turned it off but I was watching with my mom. Anyways, the acting sucked, the story sucked, the dialogue sucked, the movie was pointless, and to top it off, every once in a while there's a jarring insertion of 'humor' or something that does not fit. You've been warned.
Bad.

Before anyone thinks I am anti-Christian when they read my review, I can say I am the most devout Christian of the faith. However, filmmakers are not making films that truly celebrate Christianity to the level it deserves. Most of the actors were believable but the story became more and more disinteresting. Most of the world does not hate Christianity. The problem is the hypocrites. Billy Graham was the true example of a faithful Christian but his son Franklin is a hypocrite. Dr. Graham spoke repeatedly about Franklin's struggles to actually practice what he preached but was never a faithful practicing Christian. Unfortunately, there was no point to this movie. A wasted effort.

- 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.
