I don't know, but I do!!! I'm almost embarrassed to admit it. The thing is, that this is a b movie, but there are some intriguing things about it.
Well educated folks have filled me in on the fact that the theology of this movie is not that far fetched if, for example, you know anything about the theology of the eastern churchbut hell, all I have a crappy US public school, whole language, Dick-and-Jane, politically correct education, so I merely found it an intriguing premise. In fact, if it weren't for Open Office, this review would be full of spelling errors as well!
Some of the criticism is well founded. The acting is pretty badalthough, to me it seems to improve after the first scenelike they're getting warmed up. The two sisters kind of sound like porn actresses at first. But after Veronica leaves Hell, her acting seems better to me, like she's caught her stride. It seems like she plays the part perfectly from then on.
The Romanian sets are stunning and most of the other actors are just fine. There's a lot of humor in this film. The dog is hilarious.
My only real complaint about this film is the mayor. How do show that a public official is really really bad? You simply have him articulate some conservative views. That whole big + rich + conservative = bad thing is a tired plot device, which wasn't really necessary in this movie. There are plenty of less tired ways to establish that a character in a position of power is evil.
I'd give 10 stars for this b grade masterpiece if it were not for that.
