Format:DVD
A young clergyman returns to his family to confront all sorts of unresolved issues and soon finds himself in conflict with the town.
I was expecting a thoughtful emotional drama about a man alienated from his roots by his religion.
What I got was a rubbish thriller with completely unbelievable plotlines and insane characters. It portrays religion as an excuse for violence and none of the people in it are remotely sympathetic so it's impossible to care what happens to them. It gives the actors no chance to show what they can really do. Very bad indeed.

Watching this film was like waiting for a meal when you are starving and being served up a measly portion of prison slops. The only emotion it stirred in me was anger that I had wasted 80 minutes of my life- voluntarily. Give it a miss.

Dark and Brooding
29 Jun 2008
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you love Mathew MacFayden and you want to see him do something very different, rent this video. It's very dark and rather scary. Not a monsters and ghosts kind of scary, but a human behavior scary. I would give it 5 stars, but I didn't think the characters were given enough time to develop.

A great story but too short of a movie
17 April 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Matthew Macfayden is an amazing actor. I love him in everything he does but this movie. It is a great story that doesn't really "end". The movie begins with a brief introduction then jumps 15 years to show you "what happened". Then it's just chaos..the end. that's that movie. there is absolutely NO time for character developement, no time for you to feel the characters, no nothing. I was left with the feeling of "ok, what else. there's supposed to be MORE" but there isn't. the movie stunk to be honest. skip entirely because you're not missing anything at all.

Okierose
14 Sep 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The purchasing and delivery of this item was excellent; wasn't too crazy about the movie overall. It was dark and somewhat disturbing, featuring religious people as way over zealous and a bit on the crazy side, as though Godly people can't just be normal people.
