Extra points for the CHUD reference!
I thought it was fabulous in all respects. I can see where some might consider this too preachy,but I liked how the two differing views of the main characters was presented,as apposed to hammering a single belief.
Not groundbreaking but a bit different. Literally not a scary moment in it if that's what you're after, but I would recommend.
A beautiful fuck you to religious iconography set to the delicious tones of Gunship. it's not a 'scary' film, but a more punk version of the Pilgrims Progess or other such bullshit christian fictional text.
I have noticed that a lot of indie films which were probably pitched as horror must have started out as something else. I'm sure the movie Slash/Back, for example, was originally supposed to be about the lives of Inuit youth, but got more funding when it included aliens and zombies. Revealer was probably conceived as a commentary on religious extremism and the need for understanding The Other, but the producers realized they could sell it if they tacked on apocalyptic horror along with cheesy references to the 80s. As usual with disguised message movies, material for a 10-15 min. story got stretched out for nearly 90 minutes. At least we didn't have to see the peep show girl become born again or the religious nut give in to the flesh. Not enough thrills or laughs.
