Plot
Template:Spoiler Since her family was tragically killed in a car accident, Katherine Winter (Hilary Swank) has battled against religious faith, including her own. The former Christian missionary has become a university professor and a world-renowned expert at refuting religious phenomena. When Doug (David Morrissey) approaches her to investigate events at a small Louisiana town that appear to have been struck by the ten Biblical plagues, she accepts the challenge. With everyone in the town pointing to a little girl named Loren (AnnaSophia Robb) as the source of the dark forces that threaten the community, Katherine’s investigation turns even more bizarre. As she begins to have difficulty explaining the occurrences with scientific evidence, she realizes that she may have to look deeper within herself and reclaim her faith if she is ever to understand the omens that surround her.
Filming
Filming for the movie took place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. When Hurricane Katrina appeared midshoot (August 26, 2005), the production of the film was suspended for one week. Producers considered shooting in another city, but figured Louisiana needed the economic benefit of the movie being shot there. When Hurricane Rita struck around September 24, 2005, the production stuck it out in Baton Rouge, shutting down early for only one day.
Score
The score was originally written by Philip Glass, and went as far as the recording. However, the producers weren't completely satisified and decided to give it another try. John Frizzell was then brought in to compose a new score.
MPAA rating
R for violence, disturbing images and some sexuality.
Trivia
- The film was originally scheduled to play in theaters on November 8,2006.
- Some might find the theme of this film similar to Signs (film) by M. Night Shyamalan
