Plots(1)
From all appearances, Mackenzie Phillips seems to have a good life; three great kids, a beautiful wife, lovely home - nothing seems amiss. But, when Mack takes the kids for an overnight camping trip, what starts out as a fun getaway soon turns into a parent's most horrifying nightmare - his youngest daughter, Missy, is abducted from their campsite and her body is never recovered. As Mack struggles to make sense of such enormous tragedy, he descends into a "great sadness" where his life starts to unravel and all the ghosts that he thought he had buried long ago, resurface and push him to the edge of a precipice. It is at this time, at his darkest hour, that Mack receives a mysterious note in his mailbox with an invitation from God to meet at the shack - the place where Missy's bloody dress was found. In a desperate attempt to find closure and answers to his daughter's murder, Mack heads back into the Oregon wilderness to confront the killer or God...or both. (Lionsgate US)

I'm sorry, but just because there are interesting actors in it doesn't mean that I will enjoy the movie when it has a clearly Christian-propagandistic theme. If you believe in God - but be careful, only the Christian one - everything will be alright. It won't be! It's better to forget about it and avoid the movie.

I was enraged when I finished watching but I managed to get over myself and gave the film one star after adding up all the good moments this poetic piece had to offer. I felt angry for wasting two hours and twelve minutes of my life that could have been used in a much more useful way by just blankly staring at a wall the whole time. Well, I have only myself to blame. It was obvious that this was going to be a movie for typical American religious fanatics and hypocrites right from the start. The story about an Indian princess (WTF?) was a massive red flag. The creators acted like they were presenting some kind of a deeper message to the viewer, but it was basically just Christian propaganda. The only thing that made me laugh was when I remembered the joke about little Jesus furiously jumping on the surface of the lake, screaming, "I wanna go in the water! I wanna go in the water!"
