The Christ Slayer

My favorite of the trilogy. Melissa Anshutz portrayal of Mary was beautiful, loving and pulled me in.

As a non-christian, and former Christian my perspective of this movie not be valid to many of you.The Christ Slayer is an excellent adventure that lacks any type of feel that you're being preached at throughout the movie.

I want to point out that I know one of the actors in this film. I came into this movie to support him and the filmmakers involved but as a film buff I was looking forward to the film after watching the trailer last year.

A 'believer' is a person who knowingly and arbitraily decides to believe in something, God and Jesus being two examples of objects of belief.

After watching this film, I realize I had been completely immersed into it and was not even aware of things happening around me. I was so captivated by this story and the quality of this production that I very highly recommend everyone who reads this review to watch and enjoy this movie as much as I did.

Carl Weyant aptly plays Longinus, a blind Roman soldier (kept in his position only because of an influential father) partly responsible for the execution-death of the Christ who struggles with overwhelming guilt and darkness attempting to snuff out his life. Coming to the end of his tortured self, he leaves Jerusalem, with his servant Albus (played by Josh Perry), in order to find peace in the land of his relatives.

What a long stretch. It is advertised as a 'mix' of legend and scripture.
