The film, in essence, was a Christmas present for fans, who responded by setting a Fathom record with $1.5 million in ticket sales during the first 12 hours. That, though, did not happen with The Messengers, which was filmed in late September and early October. ( The Chosen, after all, is crowdfunded.) Such publicity helps spark excitement and additional donations. Typically, the filmmakers behind The Chosen divulge everything to their fans – including when and where they're shooting the next episode. The movie also includes interviews with the musicians about the Christmas story. The film closes with Phil Wickham and the other musicians gathering on a temple-like movie set for – perhaps – the best rendition of Joy to the World you've ever heard. For King and Country, for example, performs Go Tell It on the Mountain while walking through the (movie set) streets of ancient Israel. The artists sing outdoors on the set of The Chosen, which only adds to the Christmas feel and spirit. Among them: Phil Wickham, For King & Country, Maverick City Music, Brandon Lake, Cain, Matt Maher, Jordan Feliz and We The Kingdom. Christmas with The Chosen features some of the top religious artists singing old and new songs alike. If you've never experienced a concert in a movie theater, now is your chance. It's Filled with Music that Will Move You It's one of the best (and most creative) episodes of The Chosen yet.Ģ. The story follows a (very) young Mary and (a somewhat older) Joseph as they journey on the road to Bethlehem – still getting to know one another and still contemplating this incredible mission God has given them. Every minute of the two-hour Christmas special is inspiring, but the new episode is the star. It's One of the Best' Chosen' Episodes YetĬhristmas with The Chosen: The Messengers is a musical extravaganza, a Christmas celebration, and a new episode of The Chosen, all rolled into one film.

The new film Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers re-tells this well-known biblical story in a unique way, weaving the biblical narrative with a creative story that will inspire and move you – and perhaps even lead you to shed a tear. "We will make it work," she says, smiling. Mary, who is seemingly minutes or hours away from giving birth, agrees to the unusual arrangement. And they promised that they would be clean." "They promised us water and blankets – even lamb's clothes for the baby. " said that if we wanted, we could try camping in the stable," Joseph tells Mary. Yet there's hope: The wife of one of the innkeepers has offered them a place to sleep. Then, upon arrival, they discovered they had no place to stay. He and Mary just completed a long and grueling trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem. This film will find an audience, but whether you'll enjoy it will depend on how 'fast-paced' you like your movies.Joseph is a man of honor who is doing his best to obey God's will and to love his new wife, Mary, who is pregnant.

However, I would have liked a few more scares and a little more action somewhere along the way. Currently you are able to watch The Innkeepers streaming on Hoopla or for free with ads on Tubi TV, The Roku Channel, VUDU Free, Peacock, Peacock Premium. The characters and the way the actors portray them deserves credit and there is certainly an air of tension created. Others simply find it too slow to be scary and/or exciting. Some see it as not that much of a horror - more a slow-burning suspenseful ghost story, putting characters over gore. I've checked other reviews and it seems that people either love or hate the film.
This is where the film could fall down for some. The story progresses and the tension slowly mounts. The two youngsters play their parts well.
The inn is supposedly haunted and they decide to try and prove the stories true before the building is finally shut for good. It's about two workers at an inn which is due to close in the next few days. I use the term 'horror' over supernatural because on the 2-3 parts of the film where it actually gets scary, the scenes would probably fit more with other, more mainstream popcorn horror films. It is however one of the slowest moving horror films ever. It shows a blooded hand ringing a bell, implying that this will be some sort of gore-fest. The Innkeepers' cover artwork is a little misleading (I haven't seen the trailer, so I can't comment on that).
