Synopsis
Closeted teenager Naim has recently lost his father, and his mother has moved them to a small town to join a small, culty christian church. When his mutual attraction to parish member and schoolmate Ryan is discovered by the church, they subject the boys to a strange ritual in order to put them on the ‘godly’ path. And if they stray from that path, it could also get them violently murdered.
Join us again in two weeks when we’ll be reviewing Resident Evil, which opens in theaters September 18.
