I, like several others, decided to watch this movie because on Netflix it has a 4 star (or almost 4 star) rating. I must have gotten this movie confused with another movie for which I saw commercials a few years back that looked interesting. This movie has a weak plot, sub-standard acting and chintzy special effects. It's not that bad if it's a student film, but if this film is considered to be "professional" then these guys should be out of work right about now. It's very difficult to actually get connected to or care about the fate of the characters because there is no character development. There are no explanations and it appears that the "God" or "Demon" antagonist of the film only wants to kill and kill and kill for no reason. This film ALMOST has a zombie-like flavor to it in that the malevolent entity is passed from one person to another and then it turns around and kills as many people as possible.
