This is intended to be the first part of a trilogy and I'm looking forward to seeing where it leads. As the title indicates, this installment is about belief: if one believes, what it means to believe, in what one believes, and who believes in us. It's also a much needed conversation about inert or dying religious institutions and embodied, community based sacrelizing traditions. The film itself is well-shot, the story simple and well-crafted, the acting is solid, and the tie-in to the original is an excellent development of the theme. It's not quite as gory as the original but the film does not suffer for it. I highly recommend checking it out.
