Uses the standard plot device for this genre: Jesus good, organized religion (the Catholic Church in particular) bad. Discovery of a new "Gospel According To..." is similar to Leon Uris' "The Word" and may have some truth in an unpublished Dead Sea Scroll. Gory, but not really scary. European version may have prolonged sex scene between Arquette and her boyfriend that was left out of the U.S. theater version (but is an extra scene on the DVD).
