‘What If …’ Re-Released 15 Years Later
Before “The Chosen,” there was “What If…” Now re-released 15 years later, Dallas Jenkins’ early film reminds us how far faith-based cinema has come — and how much it still gets right. With strong performances and surprisingly sharp writing, it remains one of the best examples of its genre, even as it wrestles with ideas that feel more relevant now than ever.

‘The Last Rodeo’ Perfects Angel Studios’ Faith-Based Formula
Angel Studios finally gets it right. “The Last Rodeo” pairs authentic faith with a moving story and sharp filmmaking. Neal McDonough leads a cast of seasoned pros in a drama that doesn’t preach but still speaks to the soul. It’s the kind of faith-based film we’ve hoped for — honest, grounded and actually good. If this is the future, it looks promising.

‘The Damned’ — A Surprisingly Haunting Meditation On Faith And War
Minervini’s “The Damned” isn’t just another war film — it’s a quietly arresting portrait of human souls caught between violence and faith. With non-actors improvising dialogue and a visual style echoing Malick, it offers something rare: a war story grounded in character and conscience. It never preaches, yet still reveres belief. What remains is human, haunting — and full of space for meaning.

Why Faith-Based Films Are Dominating
Jesus isn’t just showing up in theaters — he’s topping the charts. With “The Chosen” and “The King of Kings” taking multiple top-ten spots at the box office, faith-based films aren’t just succeeding; they’re resonating. Their rise says something about more than numbers. It speaks to a hunger — not just for truth, but for beauty. Not just theology, but story. And not just Jesus as an idea, but as a person.
