(CC, BBB, FR, P, L, VV, A, M) Strong Christian worldview set around Christmas (including a church service where some of “Joy to the World” is clearly sung with some of its wonderful theological and Christological content, a couple Scripture references, and references to sin, sacrifice and resurrection) with very strong moral elements where good and evil (Light and Dark) battle with clearly defined characters who fight for the Light and stand for morality, but with some false religious implications such as the Zoroastrian belief that Light & Dark are equal in power and battling for supremacy as well as some concepts of Gnosticism that the Seeker must gain certain “knowledge” (i.e., elements of earth, wood, bronze, fire, etc.) in order to gain power over the Dark, one quick mention of Tae Kwan Do, and one reference to patriotism as young soldier says that he is “defending the free world” no obscenities and one light profanity (Oh, God) some scary fantasy violence includes demonic birds possess man and claw out of his body, young boy is chased by horseman and evil dogs, hero gains powers and is able to throw his older brothers out of the way as well as command fire and make explosions when he is angry, various fighting sequences with nothing graphic shown in battles, chase sequences, etc., woman turns into snakes to attack people, and dark horseman attacks family in a home by causing icicles to fall on them and water to overtake the house, men are attacked by birds and some more elements of fantasy battle as the servants of Light battle the Dark horseman no sexuality no nudity some wine at a party and some beer consumption no smoking or drugs and, lying by the villains, kidnapping and boy is falsely accused of shoplifting. Thus, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for children. There are, however, some scary moments and fantasy content that require discernment to interpret in a Christian manner that can inspire children rather than lead them down the wrong path away from Jesus, the true Light of the world. Brothers are reunited, siblings forgive each other and children connect with their parents. Soon, he is thrust into an epic battle between the Light and the Dark, between Good and Evil.ĭespite some awkward filmmaking and a lack of jeopardy at times, THE SEEKER: THE DARK IS RISING is a fun fantasy movie filled with strong Christian allusions, including references to sin, Scripture, hymns, Christmas, church, and resurrection. Regardless, young Will learns his destiny is far greater than he can imagine. “The darkness is rising,” “You are the seeker,” “The fate of the world is in your hands.” These are not the average things that Will Stanton expects to hear on his 14th birthday a few days before Christmas. THE SEEKER: THE DARK IS RISING is a fantasy movie based on the popular books by Susan Cooper.
