This film has a title that you think would mean the film is very memorable but that's not really the case. I was watching hoping it would get more interesting than it did. The plot involves a young American woman and how she becomes the anti-Christ. Yep, it's that silly. After a car accident that she seemingly caused herself by grabbing the steering wheel of the taxi she is in, she falls into a coma. Her father and boyfriend think they've lost her after 40 days and the life support is turned off but after a few seconds have lapsed she coughs and lo and behold she recovers! Except she is not as before. Crows start gathering outside on the ledge of her hospital room. She starts talking in an old language and can get people to do things that hurt themselves. A Roman Catholic priest believes she is possessed by the devil and tries to perform an exorcism but she's too far gone for saving. As she is stabbed with a blessed knife she disappears. Only to re-appear reborn with holes in her wrists and ankles as if she'd been crucified. All very silly but nicely set up for a sequel.
I watched this but didn't really enjoy it very much, I didn't feel any sympathy with any of the characters and didn't particularly believe
Michael Peña's portrayal of a Catholic priest, since watching his appearance in the Ant Man films, I always expect him to say something funny. He has a face for comedy, not horror (sorry, Michael).
