  Oh dearie dearie me.......They should have named this one The Weeping......A former christian missionary Kate Winter (Hilary Swank ) devotes her time debunking religious phenomona and usually lifts the lid off what turns to be some farcical attempt to try and con people into believing no end of religious hocum.That is until she is asked to investigate the bizzare goings on in a small Louisiana town of Haven (yep that's the real name) by local school teacher Doug Blackwell (David Morrisey) The River that runs through the town has turned run red.......is it real blood or have the local inhabitants cut their throats out of boredom? the very same inhabitants that believe a local 12 year old girl Loren Mc Connell is responsible and that the rest of the ten biblical plagues are going to follow.........At first every logical explination is given.......but one by one the plagues start to arrive.......it's a pity they hadn't cut to the last one......the death of the first born........and Haven would have dropped off the map........thus preventing us having to be subjected to this nonsense........Swank is wasted and looks as if she's wating for her Prince to pop up when the frogs arrive........The script is about as exciting as watching the lambs blood dry on the doors during Passover..............Word of advice......Passover this turkey .........I could hardly believe they set it up for a sequel at the end............Presumably next time around it'll be the second coming..........
