  • Complete Monster: The supposed "Prophet," Reverend Josiah, is a ruthless man who opens the film by murdering two men for little reason whatsoever save that they "trespassed" on his land. When he comes into conflict with Miguel Ramirez and his wife Sarah, Josiah is sickened by a white woman being married to a Mexican man and kills Miguel, while later raping Sarah. Indoctrinating his followers into near-slaves, Josiah shows no remorse when they die — even his own wives. When he captures the town's new sheriff, Josiah intends to crucify the man upside down for "shaming" him and leaving him for the crows to pick while he tries to sway Sarah into becoming his wife until he finds it too much trouble and simply decides to kill her.
