Glossary:
Him = "God"
Mother! = mother nature (not "Mary")
Guest = "Adam" Guest's wife = "Eve"
Youngest brother = "Able"
Oldest brother = "Kane"
The house = Earth
The crystal = the "forbidden fruit"
The shrivelling 'heart' thing = "Gaia" (the Earth's life force)
The unsavoury-looking, basement-like area beneath floorboards = Hell
The miscellaneous unbidden guests = worshippers of "God" / humans (good, bad and zealots)
Eating the infant = the holy sacrament ("body of Christ" etc.)
The film is a metaphorical take on biblical fables, commingled with some not-so-subtle environment / sustainability messaging, as well as pretty blatant dig at the catatonia of the zealous "godtard".
All in all, the idea was sound. However, the third act became so chaotic, that the sheer din of insanity was more migraine-inducing than entertaining. That, and (on a personal note), the lack of a "Serpent" or "Devil" analogy (that I observed), was quiet disappointing for mine. I really wanted some diabolical comeuppance for those gormless, grovelling goyim!
A good idea, just executed a tad too catatonically for its own good.
666/10
