Do you have to die if you don't believe it?

Isn't this movie a fanatical religious movie? Only an alienated believer can make such a cruel story or the director wants to say how cruel an alienated believer can be.
It's not that the male protagonist killed the person in the car just before the rescue arrived, but the rescue would not come if he didn't kill him.
What the mad woman said is not wrong. The locust comes to redeem the blood. The film director always maintains this mad woman. Everything she said has been fulfilled. Didn't the fat shop assistant who shot her finally got caught by the spider after he went out?
When all the traitors were condemned by the gods, those who believed in God were saved, and the monsters were burned to death.
This is an Old Testament war history-style movie, isn't it about a doomsday story without adaptation? When I first saw it, I didn't notice it. However, I still cannot accept the Old Testament. It is too cruel. Those who are not convinced must die and those who believe are saved. What about the love part? Love your neighbor as yourself? Why kill others? What a contradiction...
The fanaticism of this movie is that it pays too much attention to the form and content. It embraces the miracles and rituals in the Bible to correspond to reality. However, the inner meaning of the Bible does not care about killing a person in order to sacrifice to God. Forget that God taught us to love.
No matter how kindly Christianity contaminates people's desires, it can't make people be kind. It is not a particular kind of faith that saves people, but the mind to believe in and to endure and love.

I really don’t know how to comment on this movie. The first time I strongly recommend the second time is bad...

    I believe that the original book must be a hundred times better than this overworked movie!

    Too desperate film. To stay in the religious crazy crowd and be sacrificed, or choose to rush out and kill a way out. Choose to fight to the last moment, or to know the life of the person you love the most by yourself. Not all efforts have good results. In addition to not doing very well in special effects, I think this film is the most exciting one in SK I have ever watched. Of course, if the theme is too depressing, it will make you feel bad if you watch it. You should consider reading a novel. 4.5
