Trivia
The tincture taken by Thomas throughout the first half of the movie is likely laudanum. Laudanum, or tincture of opium, is comprised of opium powder and alcohol. It is implied in the opening scene that his addiction is why he is thought to be dead prior to being located to help with his sister's rescue.

Goofs
Frank loads red plastic shells into his shotgun. Plastic shotgun shells were not introduced until 1960.

Quotes
Prophet Malcolm: [fervently to his congregation] Where is the land which has no call for wars? Hmm? Arms? Money? Nor taxes? Well, that land is here. No tax-gatherer's bill shall ever threaten our church door! We, I tell thee, we... we are free men.

8/10

Wow that was intense.

It really does surprise me that this film didn't get a big theatrical release, logically I don't really understand why. Its original, has a great cast and boasts a terrific story line. The cinematography is terrific, it had superb production values, it really looks slick and very well made. I can't decide who stands out in particular, but the acting in general is exceptional, with Michael Sheen perhaps ending the charisma stakes.

It's a very macabre storyline, possibly the reason for its lack of release, if you've seen The Witch, that's a good idea of the tone you'll get here, very dark to the point of being bleak.

This isn't for everyone, but I loved it. 8/10
