Spoiler free review usually dislike faith based movies. They tend to be badly acted, poorly written and low quality, with predictable outcomes. So when I finally watched it, I expected cheese, and there was cheese, but way more cracker. This movie has a story and an outcome that leaves room for ambiguity and shows what we Christians have struggled to accept; That in the war of good and evil, good ultimately wins the war but not all the battles. It’ll only make sense as to why on the other side of eternity. Meanwhile, here on Earth, we struggle to understand a lot of things. Some of those questions are asked and answered here. This movie is an updated rendering of C.S. Lewis’, The Screwtape Letters. It provides a demon’s viewpoint on the whole battle. Although it didn’t receive the critical acclaim it deserves, and yes, the movie has its weaknesses (a few badly written lines and moments of hammy acting), it’s nonetheless impressive.

Disgusting, inappropriate, and consistently reaching for low hanging fruit. I needed a shower after watching this.
