Why bother with horror films when you can see this?
11/23/07
Some lively material - but nothing new.

Top CriticFlawed editing and intrusive and irritating commentary hardly detract from the shock value of this disturbing documentary. Compulsory viewing for anyone in the least bit concerned about religious extremism.
11/23/07
This gripping shock-doc looks inside the Kids on Fire evangelical summer camp in North Dakota, where training starts young for a “new army of God” to “take back America for Christ”.
11/23/07
This unabashedly liberal documentary tries to redress the balance by giving the rest of America a wake up call: not all scary fundamentalists come strapped with explosives.
11/23/07
Filmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady don't bother with a polemical voiceover a la Michael Moore but skilfully stitch together the comments of the evangelicals themselves. It doesn't make for a pretty picture.
11/23/07
A brave, thoughtful documentary.
11/22/07
Funny, sad and horrifying. Anti-fundamentalist rather than anti-Christian, this deserves to preach to more than just the converted.

Top CriticAlmost as scary as "Village of the Damned". 12 year olds who aspire to be the next James Dobson!

will be viewed as a modern classic in the decades to come.

Ewing and Grady present this disturbing material in the only manner that it can be offered effectively

With an admirable impartiality, filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady allow the camera to make these kids look like Bible-thumping kooks as they quote scriptures and try to convert strangers they meet on the street.
