Let me get this out there, this is not a movie for me. This is a movie made for the born again Evangelical crowd and unless you are part of that crowd you will probably hate this movie as well.
There is so much *wrong* with this movie. The dialogue was seemingly written by somebody who never wrote proper dialogue before. It's almost like they programmed a computer with some of the most popular scripts and it just muxed them all together in a meaningless way. Nobody talks like people in this movie talk. It felt like a bad sitcom in places where I guess they were going for levity but it just fell flat.
The acting is sub-par. Christina DeMarco who plays the main character is so wooden in most of her scenes that she could have been replaced with a puppet and I doubt anybody would have noticed. Greg Robins was okay, he's not going to win any awards for his acting but at least he's acting.
The main issue, beyond all that, is that due to some unexplained reasons she's now able to convert with a touch. That's right, even if you didn't want to be converted she can turn you into a Christian forever. And the movie plays this off like it's a good thing. But hey, forget free will. It's not like that isn't the cornerstone of choices where Christians are concerned so long as they win in the end.
This is a bad movie made by and for very stupid people.

This is something on par which a high school student would come up with. It's cheaply made, the dialogue is bad, the acting is sub par, there's tons of shaky cam action, there's no character development and there's no actual plot. It's really not so much a movie as it's just a bunch of scenes that are filmed.
The movie tries to be suspenseful as a mini-van carrying six girls is being chased along a dark country road by a crazy person in an SUV. That's it. This is 90 minutes that you won't get back.
This isn't even a movie that is "so bad it's good". It's just... bad without any redeeming qualities.
Please give this one a pass and go for something else.

You know what's worse than a poorly made movie? A poorly made movie that tries to be more than it actually is.
A friend of mine who is in into obscure works came across this and knowing my tastes in bad cinema asked me to take a look at it. The word that came to mind when seeing this was "amateurish" in every sense of the word. The camera work was amateurish. The acting was amateurish. The editing was amateurish. The sound was amateurish. I could go on but I think you get the point.
The biggest issue with this is that it's filmed as a mockumentary. So you have people "acting" when they're supposed to be acting natural. Now this could be due to bad writing. A case could be made if the portions that are filmed commercially have terrible acting but when the camera is off and only the cameraman who's filming the behind the scenes portion captures what comes off as a natural interaction between the characters. But no, it's still as painfully stilted as it was before. There's literally no difference between when the actors are "acting" and when they're not. They're playing the same people and speaking the same lines.
In the end I feel this was sunk with it's own ambition. They tried something avant garde and came up with something that even a community theatre group couldn't be proud of. Next time, maybe aim a little lower and work on making your dialogue and acting feel more natural than it did.
