Wow, this director really hates Christianity, doesn't he?
First that horrible, horrible movie Legion and now this what looks like, equally horrible movie?
I wouldn't even care if he actually made good movies.
Legion sucked and I'm sure this one will too but they really have nothing against Christianity. They're not making fun of the religion; that's not what science fiction does. These movies suck too much to hit a deep and personal level. If something offends you, you don't have to watch it.
shareI liked Legion but now that I think about it, the only thing I liked was the concept for the film and how the trailers and hype made me feel about it, and I have a feeling Priest is going to let me down as well...
Whoever keeps giving this guy these movies to ruin should be beaten, and I hope you're reading this Herr Director!
I'm not a religious person and am not offended by it. I am annoyed by people trying to force-feed you their opinion though. Seems like the director kind of is doing this.
shareI'm pretty sure the director isn't trying to get people to become Christians by showing them that if they do they'll get to fight vampires in a desert in the future.
shareThis isn't the directors story, it's a comic to film adaptation
Gus: Shawn, it's Wu-shu, it sounds more authentic
Shawn: It sounds delicious, is what it sounds

"It might be fantasy, but by having elements of the Catholic faith which are UNIQUE to the Catholic faith (Confession, monsignors, hail marys, our fathers, rosaries, etc)which are REAL and then incorporating them in a world of FANTASY where church leaders refuse to allow a priest to save his niece and statements like "go against the church, go against God" it is most definitely an attack on Catholics."
The catholic church has a history of commiting genocides based on doctrinal disagreements, so statements like "go against the church, go against God" is not exactly an unfair or mean-spirited attack. In a world where modern society has crumbled, it's not exactly a huge stretch to imagine a church more similar to the inhuman and power-hungry church of the early days of Christianity.
In any case, I don't see why it is anti-catholic, simply because it contains some indirect criticism of how humans can corrupt the catholic message. The hero of this story was still a catholic, and just because the church in the movie had an unreasonable leader Catholicism as a whole isn't criticized. I view it as more of a message on how humans can pervert the message of God, and that even church leaders are fallible.
Only totally "UNIQUE" to the Catholic church except prior to the various schisms.
sharetry looking up catholics in history mate ,you might find the contrary of your comments
Don't scare me....i poop easily
I didn't find anything against Christianity/Catholicism. It was a post-apocalyptic,sci-fi (pro)catholic western vampire flick. It reminds me of Van Helsing,Underworld and the video game DarkWatch.
If you believe in Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it put this as your signature
