    This film was really hard to watch as it was quite graphic. Normally I don't end up liking horror films based on biblical themes. But this film really drew me in and really displayed almost a higher sense than others like it.

    SPOILER NOTE--SPOILERS BELOW

    In the story, a men...( read more)tally disturbed boy and his father are driving home from the institution the boy was just released from when their car breaks down at farm owned by the devil himself. While the father goes to work for the farm's owner until their car can be fixed, the boy with his childlike innocence (Jesus said, "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." -- Matt 18:3, KJV) knows there's something not right with their host.

    Ultimately the film comes to the climax of the serpent once again tempting man to eat of the fruit of the tree in the garden of eden. It comes down to whether the boy can keep his father from eating of the tree or if he himself will be led astray by the serpent.

    This film, although a little gory and disturbing for my general tastes, nonetheless did a fine job of trying to maintain an essence of Christianity through its exploitation and twisting of Genesis and Revelation.

    Cast performances were also good, particularly those of Lance Henricksen as the farmer/serpent/devil and Adam Taylor Gordon as the boy, Sam. Their final battle of wits and words (before their physical battle of violence) was shockingly powerful and extremely well acted by both.

    If you can stomach it, it can be worth a look. I've rated it 4.5, mainly because it exceeded all expectations and proved to be quite watchable for a horror movie. Good performances, writing and directing also helped.
