| | | We liked it. Just enough creepy to give us a little scare (for the kids). Fascinating dramatization of old hillbilly christianity. Acting was just ok. Michael Landon, Jr is a great guy for making these family/faith friendly films. |

| | | We liked it, too, and had about the same reactions as Bob. I decided to pick up the book, and so far (as is usually the case) it is exponentially better than the movie. The gospel is presented in a much clearer fashion, the conversion scene is much longer (and takes place over a period of days) and more believable, however, the kids' sanctification is still highly accelerated.
Overall, I thought the movie was interesting and good, and squeaky clean (something not to be taken for granted these days!).

| | | I didn't know they made a movie of it. I've read the book though...and it's interesting.
