Humble, but smart and ambitious Donald Lawson (a solid and likable performance by Chad Matthews) gets promoted to junior vice president at the major corporation he works for and discovers that he's really the Anti-Christ. It's up to Donald's loyal and supportive pregnant wife Kate (a sympathetic portrayal by Makinna Ridgway) to stop him before it's too late. Writer/director Nick Everhardt relates the compelling story at a brisk pace, does a good job of creating and maintaining an eerie and mysterious gloom-doom atmosphere that gets darker and more unsettling as the grim plot unfolds, spices things up with some tasty female nudity and a kinky satanic ceremony, and stages the exciting climax with Donald facing off against several Catholic priests in a church with real flair and skill. Moreover, this film is well acted by an able cast: Alma Saraci burns up the screen as foxy and wicked temptress secretary Sydonia, Amol Shah impresses as shrewd and ruthless senior vice president Ashmed Chammadia, Collin Brock brings a strong and credible sense of no-nonsense gravity to the role of helpful and knowledgeable devout priest Father Deacon Cain, and Stephen Blackehart smarms it up nicely as slimy jerk Tom. Bianca Bahena's lively cinematography gives this picture an extra buzzing energy by keeping the camera constantly moving about throughout. The moody score does the brooding trick. A coll little flick.
