There is such rubbish on the cable movie channels that I hit a gem with this one. From beginning to end it had me gripped and deserves top marks.
Father of two sons hears messages from "God" to kill people who he is told are 'demons'.
When the opening credits showed the director as one of the cast that can often be a warning of a bad film; exceptionally it is the reverse here as the drama is non-stop from beginning to end.
And there is not one moment in the movie when one is not fully enthralled as there are no unnecessary or needless sub-plots, and the script is first class.
All the actors give wholly convincing performances especially the lead child actor who is exceptional.
This film is at least as good as the likes of 'Silence of the Lambs'.
