Reviews


75
Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
An effectively unsettling mix of Southern gothic and Old Testament hugger-mugger, with shades of "The Exorcist" and even "Rosemary's Baby" thrown in.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
One either likes this sort of thing or not. Even fans might not buy the ending in which more people get wiped out than in Hurricane Katrina.
60
Variety - Justin Chang
Revisiting the book of Exodus in a feverish Southern-gothic context, this lurid, often ludicrously entertaining slab of Biblesploitation builds an earnest case for spirituality in a skeptical age.
50
TV Guide Magazine - Ken Fox
Swank and Elba work hard for their paychecks, but Rea quite literally phones in his performance.
38
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
It's hard to say what is more responsible for the film's utter failure: Hopkins direction, the editing, or the screenplay. The result is such a muddle that one assumes each aspect deserves part of the blame.
