Lance Henriksen stars as an old farmer. Religious themes—some traditional, some made up just for the movie—abound as a workman and his young son, who is prone to “visions” (which I guess plays better in a supernatural drama than “schizophrenia”) come to stay for a while and it becomes apparent to them that everything in the entire place is a metaphor for the book of Genesis. Henriksen is compelling as usual, presuming you like him as an actor. I do. He manages to give his usual understated, low-key burn to the development of a character that many actors probably would have played over-the-top and made unbelievable. I liked it for that. Not really much beyond that to commend it, though.
