Refuge From the Storm - A New Beginning

I love how its not all rainbows and Unicorns like other faith movies tend to be. There's actually real, big, serious problems that are in the film that a normal person can relate to and see how to overcome it Gods way, and not mans way. If you believe in God, but cant handle the reality of life for millions of people outside of your bubble, this movie might scare you. If you believe in God, and know the ugliness of the world and want to watch a woman fight it head on, you'll love it.

The acting levels were mixed: some good, some bad. The story, however, overwhelmed any thoughts on the quality of acting. These things happened, so the story is worth watching and watching again. One thing, I thought Michael Madsen was a little old for the part he played, but otherwise, he did an outstanding job. Kristen Quintrall and Jan Santos also did well. The story is especially poignant for those who have lived through something similar.

Refuge From The Storm is different from anything I've ever seen before .... This tell the story of a person's spiritual battles without the cheesiness of other movies like The Exorcist .... deliverance is as simple as believing the promises of God and acting accordingly ... in spite of any subtle, satanic influences that try to stop you. The impact that God's Word had on Linda, which was also a witness to Steve, was incredible. The making of the movie was also miraculous, so don't ignore the Specials Features section.

Good movie. Acting could be better. What is most captivating is this is based on a true story and shows the goodness of God and the evil of the devil and the deliverance the lead character receives.

This was not a very good movie. It was beneath Michael Madsen's acting ability and was kind of lame. I do believe in spiritual battles but this was just not very well done.

I was rather disappointed in this movie. I understood it was going to be intense, but I wasn't prepared for what I watched. The movie is very dark, but also had good spiritual truth. That isn't enough for me to recommend it. If you are at all sensitive to the spiritual world, this is not for you. Parts are very disturbing. I know that there is truth in what was shown, I personally just didn't need to watch it. The evil was too real, and I didn't appreciate the feeling it gave me. This might be a spoiler for some, but I would have liked to have been warned before watching. There is an animal killed and hung for at least 30 seconds of the movie. And another scene had a girl possessed by demons getting blood all over a room. I turned it off at this point. I'm sure the movie must have had a happy ending, but it was too much for me to get to that point. This is definitely not for young children.

Excellent true-to-LIFE movie. Not at all like a jazzed up Hollywood movie (those tend to have exciting details to change a story). I not only enjoy this great movie at home - Last Saturday night, several good friends got together in Penfield, NY and watched it together. If you love God and His Word, this unique movie will bless, inspire and uplift you.

It was a unique and powerful way to show the endless, hopeless, but ever so common flaws and deceitfulness of the ways of the world which is "180" from the knowledge and nature of God. There are no flaws and deceitfulness with Him so there must be another power in the world. 1 John 4:4 begins to open up in this movie.
