Starring Guy Pearce, DeWanda Wise, and Bill Pullman in a haunting exploration of belief and fear--and the lengths one will go to protect a child the world believes is cursed.

Minor sins are easy to forgive for such a bold, idiosyncratic anti-Western as this, the kind we don’t often get.

Rated: 3/4

If not quite in the top tier of 21st-century westerns, this supernatural oater from director Ned Crowley has a distinctive silhouette.

Rated: 4/5

Killing Faith is not a supernatural thriller or a horror movie. It’s a sad anthem on the decay of humanity and the nonchalance of survival. An enjoyable movie from start to finish.

Rated: 6.5/10

Killing Faith wants to be unique. It wants to have a genre sandwich, but instead of the layers of genre fixings piled into a neat package, they spill out in odd ways and the whole thing falls apart.

Crowley’s audacious vision combined with some firmly committed and capable performances ensure we are never disengaged from this mysterious and macabre Old West odyssey.

“Killing Faith” consists of amazing parts that do not add up to a cohesive whole. It needed more work before filming ever started instead of relying on the audience’s generous spirit to be satiated with a lot of shiny, inconsistent distractions

The most unique film I’ve seen all year. If this had studio backing it would be a hit.

Can’t wait for Crowley’s next film. Loved his first, Middle Man (2016) and now his second Killing Faith. He brings his unique view on story telling - captures the imagination. Hope I don’t have to wait 9 years for the third. Get busy Ned!
