- TriviaDuring filming Kyle Gallner suffered a panic attack whilst being tied to a cross, which the crew were unaware of at first, thinking he was still acting.
- Goofs(at around 1h 13 mins) At the end of Cooper's paraphrase of the opening of the seven seals, he throws his arms above his head. He then slowly lowers them- twice. First in an over-the-shoulder shot of actor John Goodman, and again in the next shot, a frontal shot of the good preacher.
- Quotes
Joseph Keenan: People just do the strangest things when they believe they're entitled. But they do even stranger things when they just plain believe.

Featured review
"You're already dead, sinner. You destroyed your spirit in a waste of shame."
Three best friends in high school decide to take an offer from a sex site. A woman invites them over to have some good times. But when they get there things turn ugly. The woman is kidnaps them, revealing that they were lured in by a right-wing religious extremist church that believe they were sent to eradicate homosexuality from the world. Seeing as though three men will share one woman they see this as a form of homosexual act and have complete intention on brutally killing them. Everything goes south from there when the police and FBI discover that the church houses enough firearms to support a small army.
Is it political satire movie or biggotry caught on film? Whatever it is, it seems to be a mixed bag of genres, throwing several things into our faces so fast we're not sure how to react. We have horror, suspense, action, drama, war, and so on. Make up your mind, movie! Which do you want to be? Nonetheless it is quite an interesting watch, not because of the plot, but who the director is: Kevin "Silent Bob" Smith! Most of his works are usually Your-early-20s-suck-dramas (and the one satire on Catholocism) with his signature characters and actors, and now here he comes with something that breaks his own mold. But despite the major flaw (constant loss of track on the plot) it manages to be quite frightening at times. The acting is where this movie really shines. The antagonists are exceptionally frightening and Michael Parks as the priest of an extremist church really takes each scene. Like they say in the movie- "People just do the strangest things when they believe they're entitled. But they do even stranger things when they just plain believe". It's also nice to see John Goodman back in the movies once again with a significant amount of weight lost. He does a good job at playing an action hero-figure. ....Just don't make him yell... This film breaks the mold of the directors usual work and provides us with strong actors but sadly, easily loses track of what it's trying to tell us on several occasions.
