Is this a horror movie?


Can someone tell if this is a horror movie, or religious propaganda? I already got tricked into sitting through "Suing the Devil", and I'm not making that mistake again.

It is neither of them. It is a it is dark and boring all the time film.

It has some horror elements . It is set in a dark Purgatory ruled by fallen angels , afterall but it`s mostly an action/sci-fi/fantasy film . Religious propaganda ? Hell no ! It`s more about what it means to be human through the POV of two warring tribes of angels : the heroic Arcs and the evil Fallen than anything overtly religious . You don`t even have to read The Bible to enjoy The Film as the only connection is some of the names of the angels and a sly reference to God and Satan by various names throughout The Film .

Agreed. I don't really think of it as a horror film at all.
