Over deze film

After receiving an online invitation for sex from a mysterious woman (Academy Award® winner Melissa Leo*) three teenaged boys head to the town of Cooper's Dell. But instead of enjoying the night of their dreams, the teens are plunged into the nightmarish world of Abin Cooper (Michael Parks), a fundamentalist preacher with a deadly moral agenda. As the boys suffer unthinkable horrors inside the preacher's compound, a military task force is mobilized. With Cooper's Dell teetering between salvation and damnation, the task force's leader (John Goodman) braces for furious battle with Cooper and his heavily armed followers in this fever-pitched action thriller from writer-director Kevin Smith (CHASING AMY). *2010 Best Actress in a Supporting Role, The Fighter

Despite some stellar acting there were a few too many false notes in this movie for me. By the time the action really kicked in it felt like the story had lost its momentum. It never kept an edge or became really compelling so I was unable to sustain my interest.

A junk food movie, plain and simple. A good movie for those who watch a lot of TV and buy into popular culture. For others this is a typical garbage movie. This is why i don't watch movies anymore unless they are something special. just a bunch of cliche movie scenes, sprinkled with some lovable actors. theres better stuff out there than this.

Original idea and very relevant. I can't see any true "gorror" fan leaving this under 3. I assume those that did were are either evangelicals or home schooled. Great flick. 2 bloody thumbs up!
