About
You may enjoy this if you want a serious, divisive religious-tinged horror drama with eerie mood and big questions, like The Seventh Day; Not for you if you need clear storytelling, faster pacing, or a more traditional faith-affirming take.
Pros: striking desert atmosphere; intense religious-horror imagery; ambitious themes | Cons: confusing, uneven story; slow pacing; too dark at times
