Yikes, this is bad. I didn't think it would be possible to make a movie that
would offend both the religious right and the pro-choice crowd, but False
Prophets manages to do so. In the film, a woman (Lori Heuring) believes she is
carrying a virgin birth (never mind the fact that she has a boyfriend), and
opts to have it aborted. But somehow a fundie Christian group finds out about
this and intervenes in an attempt to get her to have the baby and give it to
them for adoption. Poor Lori is torn every which way until she ends up having
the baby in a field, thanks to a helpful gas station attendent/prophet.
Never in my life have I seen a movie that tried so hard to be serious and came
off as such utter nonsense. Literally none of this movie makes a lick of sense,
and its attempts to be spiritual come across as laughable. The acting is
universally poor and the direction is uninspired. But that script, wow... I
know this was made by Lifetime Television, but even they have to have some
standards, right?
