The story of Elijah is presented here, based on known traditions as well as the biblical story. The scene of fire coming down from heaven to consume Elijah’s sacrifice is nicely handled, and the clothes are reminiscent of the time period. The movie focuses on Elijah’s stand against the prophets of Baal as well as the one called “the witch queen” in the movie, namely evil Queen Jezebel, King Ahab’s famous wife.
Unfortunately, there are a few graphic scenes of violence in the film, including a scene of bloody corpses lying dead on the ground and a scene in which a character is stabbed in the back and the blade in the back and the resulting blood are realistically shown. We have awarded this DVD our Dove “Faith Based” Seal with a caution to parents for violence.
