Christian made films tend to be made laughably poor. This is no exception. B-movie horror films are often, at the very least, fun on a cheesy level. Christian movies, unfortunately, aren't cheesy. They tend to be pandering, over the top with inserting bad and faulty arguments for "Christian morality." Beliefs aren't what make a movie terrible, however.
There's multiple antagonists/monsters at work, and don't make sense. The basic premise is explained, but the execution severely lacking. This film was clearly made during the pandemic, as some actors chose to wear masks during the pandemic, while others didn't. It makes an odd experience, as some of the establishments the scenes take place in, would've likely had mandated masks.
The camera work is shaky and low quality, the editing is often choppy, sometimes even in the middle of a continuous shot (multiple takes edited together.) The audio mixing is terrible in a few scenes, though I will have to commend how often the spoken dialogue is consistently audible throughout most of the film. A few moments are murky and difficult to hear, but thankfully they're not many.
The special effects range from practical Halloween decorations made by high schoolers, to computer generated effects made by high schoolers. It's probably the most distracting part of the movie. I think they stole some blood animations from a gif on an angelfire website.
The acting goes from pretty terrible to pretty okay. Oddly enough, some of the acting from the "sinful" characters are the most natural. Unfortunately, they're not safe from awkward dialogue in a few scenes.
Overall, this movie was probably made on a budget of a few pizzas and beers, and maybe $20. Making a movie can be tough, and I hope these people had a good time making it, because other than laughing at it with your friends, there's no real redeeming value.
