WTF is wrong with whoever wrote this movie? That really was a moment that took me out of the movie. Not that i was too well entertained before this moment but the thought that people go trough the trouble of keeping a complex high maintainance machine that sucks up rare fuel like a sponge to mess up parties of dirty heretics by throwing vampires at them is just so over the top retarded that its barely comprehensible.
Talk about Christianbashing in Hollywood movies.
Evil white racists burning crosses after the apocalypse, people posing as suicidal christian cult to lure in people with a fake baby, more evil christians throwing vampires from helicopters.. lol
Im not even religious but thats really obvious. I would be mad at this movie if i would be a christian.

I was raised in a Christian home and I found nothing offensive about this. The cult wanted to spread vampirism across the globe. They felt it was their religious duty.

What I did find offensive was that the writer expected us to believe the pilot and passenger(s) kept unbound vampires in the helicopter, magically, without the vampires attacking and killing them.

Also, I wasn't real thrilled with the concept that the first "thinking vampire" came about because either 1) he gave his blood willingly, or 2) he prayed to God. What was up with this explanation?

I thought it was a cool concept :)

"Pffft, my suspension of disbelief has higher standards than that"

The only real Christian in the movie was Sister, everyone else was part of a cult.

Do you remember what he said? "I am your God!"

Remind you of anyone? Body of Christ?

Exactly.

You're giving too much credit to an explanation given by an insane undead cultist. He thought he got to keep his wits about him because he prayed but it's not in anyway shown to be the truth. It's his interpretation of his predicament. He likely just suffered a random mutation of the virus and ended up the way he was. Whatever religious mumbo-jumbo he spewed out in the end is meaningless.

Agreed...it was dumb. And WHY would anyone want to spread vampirism? That entire thing made no sense. Vampire's are traditionally AFRAID of any religious symbol including the cross, yet Hollywood makes a movie where a Christian cult is PRO VAMPIRE? Most fanatical cult groups would think they were sent from the devil not God.

How dumb a group of people would want vampires to rule the world.
lol

As explained in the movie, they saw the spread of vampires as a 'cleaning' of the world. And don't forget you're talking about a cult, they rarely make sense.

[–] pathxe 12 years ago

Exactly cults make no sense.

Honestly I could see some religious people getting totally out of control. Not like they haven't in real life.

I could totally see a David Koresh or Jim Jones using vampires against people.

I think its pretty obvious how these Christians worked. That is the end of times. So God brought these vampires into the world... they are just helping God to his Armageddon thingy. Makes sense.

The vampires could be tied below the heli and were being cut free. Or they could be bound in heli and released thru door. Notice how it took some 40 secs between vampires falling ?

it's a freaking movie for $#!$% sake!

I think it's funny how they made the KKK/rapists related to Christians. But then they turn around and there's the innocent old faithful Catholic woman. Just because someone claims to be Christians or any religion, doesn't make it true if it's not biblical. Just because someone wears a police uniform/costume, doesn't make them a police officer unless they have an authentic badge.

and if you follow the news (take e.g. the dramatic rise in right-wing militias after the inauguration of obama... do you really think gun-wielding, white rednecks are atheists or muslims?) and observe your environment, you would know that it's not just some dozen people who are crazy like that.
almost every big religion has plenty of fanatics who will kill for their god. and their combined wealth (especially because of the people behind them) is quite big. so if a scenario like in stake land would occur, i think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that religious groups will control a lot of land... and their reign will just be as ugly as the movie shows.
of course there are exceptions, like the nun (guess you must have missed her, huh? i'm sure somebody doing christianbashing has huge interest in reminding people that not everybody is like that...). but even if those would be the majority - say 70% peaceful and 30% violent - who do you think will dominate the land? hell, even 10%... one machine gun and you mow down a looot of peaceful people. as frequently demonstrated at protests in the middle east.
