Yes, it is a pretty bad film.
Still, when I was a kid, that fake "God creature" creeped me out. I kept wondering 'What if I walked into a church one day and it appeared right in front of me'?
To me, that creature was a frightening concept. It's probably because of it's double-faced nature. It looks so calm and soothing when it first appears, and then you realized it's nothing but evil. It's that same fear kids have about nice-looking strangers offering them candy bars. It's the same fear that Stephen King plays off in "It." The grotesque contradiction between God, an all-benevolent entity, and this petty, cruel sadist is appalling.
