    how did no one realize how ironic it is that the ACTUAL CANONICAL DEMON in the movie is the one to spout the right-wing rhetoric? like he’s the one that literally tells the main character that abortion is murder, AND THEN THE MAIN CHARACTER IS LIKE “DAMN, YOU'RE SO RIGHT!”

    “What about my meal?” is one of the saddest lines I’ve ever heard and will probably stick with me for a while.

    Haha I feel swindled. What I thought was going to be a lowkey supernatural horror was ACTUALLY some right-wing propaganda spewing that demons are in fact real and so is God. Also, all encounters with some type of evil are apparently enough reason to convert any atheist.…

    Is this obviously a political piece? Yes. Does it make valid points? Yes. If you can't watch this without immediately getting defensive or thinking about any of it without getting offended, perhaps you need to take a second to wonder why. This was a budget movie that was…

    “I didn’t know this was a fight.”“That’s why you’re losing.”So, I don’t know how this happened, but the writers of God’s Not Dead actually made a movie that is 85% genuinely good. Sean Patrick Flanery is excellent. There are some very obvious reasons people will hate it,…

    honestly was really excited when i read the premise, but then i quickly realized this was just a right-wing propaganda piece that contradicts many of the points it tries so hard to make edit: i just saw this was directed by those two guys that made that awful pro-life…

    Since I’m a conservative Christian who is anti-woke, I’ll give this a 6.3. For anyone else watching, it’s a 4.1. The points in this movie were great, but you better be ready for a 1 hour conversation. It is scary how Satan’s message is presented in the world today. Meh delivery.

    Honestly, call me crazy but this movie had me hooked for the entire length of the movie. Between the actors and the fact that they managed to compile an entire movie into essentially one room and still be a successful run is impressive to me. I have watched it about 4 times now!!

    90% of the movie is just a single scene where an athiest & a demon have a conversation. It sounds like it might be a boring set up, but I was intrigued throughout the whole thing. However, I do wish there was more to the ending. Still good though!

    1.3 - Ignoring the religious angles this is just bad. Incredibly contradictory writing that fails to take any real stances, poor balance of action to dialogue, a terribly misleading trailer, & a climax based on impossible (spoiler ⬇️). Flanery earned all credit for his performance

    i choose to interpret this movie as being ab insanity instead of taking it literally as being ab demonic possession. imo its definitely better that way

    A must watch in my opinion. Gives you a different perspective into the spiritual world. Reminds me of C.S. Lewis the Screwtape Letters

    This movie is for ignorant people who think not watching the news means it's not happening. And for Luke warm Christians who think they will slide into heaven. It was intense!
