After a bunch of disappointing stuff in the last week, can this be the bright, flickering light in the darkness?
A new Preacher and his family have come to a small Town. This would be a Lifetime Film if the Wife was Melissa Joan Hart.
It is Anne Heche, however, so Horror.
The old Pastor- Clancy Brown- has set them up to take over for him.
As if you didn't know this was Horror, here is Satan/Lex Luthor/Mr. Krabs!
The homecoming is disrupted by a large tooth being left in a welcoming Cake. That is not Gluten Free!
While the younger Sister suffers, the older one goes out with the bland guy in Town. Romance!
The Town has a secret and has plans for one member of the family...
Will this Town's secret spell the end for the family? Will evil win? Will good survive?

Hurray- it didn't suck! This one is not that unique, but it works. The Story is pretty unoriginal, yes. The Setting is not that unique either. A bit of dark, Satanic stuff in the Heartland of America- what a twist! Joking aside, this is basically a good Version of a standard, stock Tale. The Acting is pretty good, feeling natural and never hammy. Our Male Lead is pretty underwhelming, but not offensively-so. The Film is interestingly-paced, as it really picks up in the last third. It slowly builds to something interesting (if not that unique) and sticks with it for a while. Without SPOILing too much, the Film doesn't set up something neat and then just stop- as is often the case. It has a good Climax, even if the whole thing ends up in pretty familiar territory. I was really hoping that they wouldn't go 'Full Manos' at one point here, but they do. To be honest, this one really stands out as being good especially considering that I watched The Cloth, Embrace of the Vampire and THEN this (all in a week!). It had a very low bar and managed to clear it quite well. Nothing Left to Fear is too good for a 'Nothing left to see' tagline. If you like your low-budget Horror going dark and mildly-interesting, this one works. The most interesting part- Slash (from G&R) as an Executive Producer
An actually-good Film that mostly works. While it only has a few real tricks, it still works.
It is Anne Heche, however, so Horror.
