Again the endless story, how many thousands of times repeated...
It is always absolutely ridiculous to present THE devil, opposed to ONE individual - one family, one group - as if this grain of sand in the entire cosmos, in a story of an hour and a half or a little more, could tell the tipping of the said cosmos into the Apocalypse.
Except that... Like Faust, there can be some successful fables. I'm not saying that this film is a stroke of genius of the caliber of The Divine Comedy, but it is very well done.
So if you like this kind of dichotomous opposition brought to the screen, in a metaphysical reflection sauce, you will like it.
It's nothing like the great movie Seven, but it's well done enough to watch to the end... That's why I gave it 8 stars. (And Lance Herrikson is as good as ever...)
