This movie juggles a lot of moving parts at the same time. We got a little bit of the second coming of Christ, Aztec or Mayan sacrifices, Hong Kong/Thai horror tropes, Kaiju battles and your typical 80s stereotypes all mixed in a blender. Seriously, a LOT happens, including some odd, underdeveloped story between a young lady (played by the directors sister) and her deathly ill dad. Despite all the activity, this movie is really slow. So why watch? I'll tell you why - multiple actors in this film act out convulsions caused by demonic possession really, really well. I mentioned the random Kaiju battle, right?
