GODFORSAKEN is an indie fantasy thriller with a classy look and some very nice scene-setting photography. A range of real-world locations are used to tell the story and they're good to look at. A shame, then, that said story is so drawn out, really testing the patience although the premise isn't too bad. It's a religious-themed movie in which a fallen angel goes looking for redemption after failing a child in his care. The cast work hard to tell the story, but it's the script that lets this one down despite the aforementioned qualities.

A woman visits a priests and ask about a fallen angel that arrive to Earth several years ago. From that the movie becomes a flash back of a series of events related with the outcast angel and the people whose life he interferes and / or try to protect. To make things clear; this is NOT a sweet family or Christian movie. It is very dark and disturbing. The angel has his own agenda and little respect for human life (at least for most of the characters); he is quite violent.This is a low budget independent movie with few characters. The acting is acceptable but not outstanding. The pace is usually slow but the unexpected twist near the end feels a little rushed. Even with some tricks; to justify the ending; the movie works and will surprise you. After the end many strange feelings stay and will keep you thinking for a while.
