I came across this title and watched it because it had Michael Pare in it. I have been a fan of Pare ever since he played Tony Villacana in The Greatest American Hero. This movie started off slow, so I thought it would pick up. It didn't. There are plenty of astroturfing reviews on here and they are so fake and over the top, they are easy to spot. Ignore those.

Pare plays a drifter (Thomas) and apparently (as I inferred) a widower. He finds what appears to be a nice house with nobody home. So, he lets himself in to have food and get cleaned up. He also seems to have a fully loaded handgun with him.

There are noises in the house. Thomas looks for their source and seems to experience various flashbacks. He tries to leave the house, but it won't let him leave.

Through an agonizing long set of flashbacks, we learn Thomas was a womanizer and it appears his wife committed suicide because of this, while pregnant with his daughter. As if Thomas' life hadn't become miserable enough, the house tells him to repent, and he shoots himself in the head.

With better writing, this would have been much better. Pare does well with his part, he just doesn't have much to work with from the writer and director.

Hollywood seems to want to take excellent movies and remake them into pieces of crap. They ought to be taking movies like this and making them better. Remake this - but keep Pare as the lead.

3 stars and those are all for Michael Pare and his efforts to do what he could with this.

Either a story is too worldly (secular) or it is too churchy. That is the normal state of affairs. Director John Fallon sees things differently, and should be applauded. This is an excellent film of offered, and rejected, salvation.

Good Movie About A Guy Who Is Given A Chance To Find Redemption In His Past And Is Much Too Bitter With Self Loathing To Seek Forgiveness ... In The End Knowing What He Had To Do He Instead Choices To Continue Punishing Himself ... A Very Unique Vision In The Direction And Story Telling Of "Seeking Forgiveness" Everywhere But Within Ourselves ... 72 Minutes Long The Story Never Goes Long Without Reminding Us That While We Want, It Is Not Enough ... It Is Also A Reminder That In The End We Judge Ourselves ... The Movie Does Have A Religious Tone To It But Only A Tone ... Which Makes Understanding What Is Happening In The Story A Little Harder (I Imagine) To Grasp For Those Who Lack In A Strong Religious Understanding ... Michael (Thomas) Is Very Good In The Role Of A Suffering Soul Seeking For Understanding And Yet At The Same Time Denying That Understanding ...
