The Second Coming 2004 Horror Movie Review

THE SECOND COMING is a triumphant mixture of science fiction, political agitprop, and experrimental montage as timely today as when it was made almost ten years ago.  In the near future, Christan fundamentalists attempt a coup d’etat in the U.S.. Meanwhile, Carlos and Ben, two high school classmates in New York, are falling in love despite homophobic, racist and anti-Semitic attacks against their peers.  Together they join forces with an underground resistance led by teenagers who produce and broadcast videos challenging the fundamentalists.  A black and white mood piece at the forefront of narrative cinema, THE SECOND COMING is a very angry, sometimes funny and poignantly hopeful drama that will speak to your worst nightmaes about the religious right.
