In the five years since the mysterious disappearance of her devoted boyfriend Christopher (Cody Linley), troubled student Sarah's (Sara Simmonds) supernatural encounters have grown increasingly vivid. Though her classmates have dismissed her heavenly visions as nothing more that the crazed ravings of a lovelorn attention seeker, there's something in Sarah's strange story and inexplicable fascination with Joan of Arc that determined high-school reporter Dave (Jake McDorman) can't seem to shake. As Dave slowly gains Sarah's trust and follows her to an isolated chapel to explore the true cause of her spiritual encounters, high-school rebel Alec (Matt Vodvarka) vows to claim Sarah's virginity at any cost and wear her corruption as a badge of honor. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I guess I'm very good at guessing movies. When I saw this movie, I first thought that Cody was played by the new kid that walks into the classroom that she throws up on. That should have been the first clue. Well, then I realized he was the little boy that was so nice to her, esp... read moreecially after the new boy asked what her story was. But when I saw Cody's character I was like "That's him. He's the same person." but I kept questioning myself as to why he changed his name and all that. In the end he said it was "to see if you could still love me for me. Not the boy you fell in love with when we were kids long ago" so in the end I was right, and Cody's character, and the older boy she falls for are one. Though in the end, marrying at such a young age (as he promised to never leave her and be apart again) was weird.

    He had left her for 5 years, and came back as the new boy, and she didn't know until the end.

    As I'm watchign the middle, cause I just had to know if I was right, the mother said she wanted to show him something and I knew it was the letters she never got. And I'm like "It's so sad" because when he sees the letters his expression is like "oh my god" and "she didn't get them" and he looks so miserable and sad, I can't even explain how he acted. Its just heartbreaking to see his reaction as he finds out why she never got the letter he wrote to her. I hope he tells her that he sent them and her mother has them. I can't tell by the end if he did. But at least now he knows. He kept his promise and kept writing.

A film that tries to be all heart at the expense of the brain. Full Review

It's a bad movie, weakly written and featuring many hilarious moments of over-the-top acting and silly plotting. Full Review

Sarah's personal ad: I like candles, acting, and fasting for God. I don't date, but will tell all my secrets if you answer one riddle. For a surreal time, call... Full Review

An interminable film. Full Review

By pushing an easy answer and ignoring the complexities of desire, the filmmakers don't speak authentically to a contemporary youth audience, no matter how much lip gloss they put on their heroine. Full Review

Though the 'religious' overtones are a new touch, ends up seeming like one of those amusingly cheesy semi-supernatural thrillers broadcast as 'originals' on the SciFi Network. Full Review
