About
You may like this if you want a provocative, unsettling drama about faith, cult-like influence, and end-times dread, closer in spirit to The Nines than a typical thriller; Not for you if explicit content or morally challenging material turns you off.
Pros: thought-provoking religious themes; eerie apocalyptic mood; strong lead performance | Cons: divisive moral stance; uneven pacing; confusing theology
