If you watched this movie as a "Fiction / Fantasy" then my review is NOT for you. I am writing a review for those who see the "Title" and have heard somewhere in the grapevine this is a more modern "Pilgrims Progress" perspective. This review is to show people it is NOT and is only a "Fiction / Fantasy" movie with a Similar Title. Movie starts with a statement of a King coming to bring the North/South states of the Kingdom. In the Bible the Nation of Yisrael becomes a North/South states after the Death of Solomon. Character at start is supposedly a Judge of a Town in the South, the Bible has Judges. These two are as close to Scripture I can see. The Longer I watched the movie, the more I felt How Carmen's Character originally felt in his Song "Invitation from a Witch" VERY DARK Movie. I had to stop watching the movie, for it just never even compared to Pilgrims Progress. Those of you think this is a part 2 of Pilgrims Progress ... should watch "Christiana". This was too Dark and i am not talking about the Photography or lighting. I watched almost 1/3 of it; I could not see any connection to Pilgrims Progress. In Pilgrims Progress the Main Character is focused on Scripture warnings, I Never saw anything like this. Also it appears both sides (Evil/Good) use forms of Witchcraft / Sorcery. Now CS Lewis Narnia does cover Witchcraft/Sorcery but only on the Evil Side. This is NOT related to Bunyan's Book or the Bible; but if looking for a "Fiction / Fantasy" not r/t the Bible then this is for you.

I'm gonna give it a 9 just because people seem to be bashing what was obviously a low budget film, and some christians are hating on it because it's not like the original or somehow sacreligious. They tried to do something different with it.

Great film with a positive message. Good for families that like fantasy-style movies.

An epic prequel to John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress", this movie is a work of art all to itself! Yes, the movie was made with a small budget... but it was ART nonetheless! The story of faith in a battle of good and evil... the characters...the allegory... the special effects... and the world-building! One of the best fantasy films ever made since Lord of the Rings! Thank you Matt Blien so much for creating this masterpiece and looking forward to more to come!

It was ok for a low budget film. Probably deserves a lower score if you compare it to bigger films, but I thought it was decent.

People, people. This was low budget film and yes it has some issues. Some bad moments, but honestly, it's better than some b-movies I've seen. Cinematography was pretty dang good and a few solid performances. It's not a 3.2 rating. That's pretty low. I mean 5/10 I can get behind, but I think people are really bashing this with 1s expecting some crazy GoT or LotR film.

I liked this movie but you have to know something about "Pilgrim's Progress" to fully appreciate the film. Yes, it's low-budget but if you are looking for a movie that your kids can watch that doesn't drop the f-bomb, this is an okay choice. The scenery is beautiful and costuming is pretty darn good for a low budget film. There were some direct references to Bunyan's tale which I liked. Some of the lines were not as strong as they could be, but some of the scenes were very powerful and worthy of some family conversations after the viewing. If you are expecting LOTR, don't. The stories aren't the same.

I followed this movie before it ever came out. I was really chomping at the bit to see it. It surely didn't disappoint!
