So, if you like parallel realties. Paradoxical existence. A bit of quantum duality stuff then you'll probably like to see where this is going. It does a good job and does it without borrowing a lot of concepts. There is action, but its not heavy.
So, you have this malevolent being, in human form who likes to call himself the Benefactor. He is calling the shots in all this. The Benefactor is a more gadget oriented being, than a traditional demon. He endeavors to control the fate of others in this multiverse.
As for religion, it is a movie with a diabolical villain, but I wouldn't say religion is in your face. Compared to something like the Pope's Exorcist or The Nun, religion is almost unnoticed in this one.
It has a The Endless vibe. But a bit of a Hallmark feel too. The acting is good. Neil McDonough plays his titular bad guy routine well. Actors Sean Astin and John Billingsly are a comfortable fit in their supporting roles. Kristoffer Polaha as the protagonist is solid.
And I like the ending. It wasn't predictable. But it provided decent closure. Movies lack this attribute these days.
