This was not an easy movie to watch, on a number of levels.
It is not an anti-Christian movie nor is it pro /anti abortion. It's a movie that is about the horrors that exist around us but yet remain unseen (or unresolved).
The movie seems to have been a low budget movie; there was nothing in the specs to indicate how much was spent making the movie and, the actors were all unknown to me.
The acting was a bit wooden. I'll put that down to the actors still learning how to play their given roles.
The story reminded me of my favourite all time movie "The Wicker Man". The hero and heroine of the story meet untimely deaths at the finalie of the movie. Watching the lead actress being burnt at the stake was not easy and, it was a lot more graphic than The Wicker Man.
I was frustrated with the town sheriff's lack of action when he confronted the zealots. He seemed to lack either the motivation or desire to stop the homicide proceeding. And, I was disappointed that the zealots all got killed by (at a guess) God's intervention.
Overall, it held my attention. It is definitely worth a watch but once is enough. If you can wait until it comes out on weekly DVD hire then all the better. I'd like to see more from the same scriptwriter if he gets more funding. I believe that he has the potential to do some good work.
