How bad is it? Interesting premise, badly botched.
Should you see it? It's dull and confusing, but worth a look, I suppose.
This got re-titled, I think, because there was another film (made by Craig Denney) that year with the same name. The CIA (actually an organization called Interzod, but it's CIA) has computers that are able to use astrology to figure out what each person's potential future could be. There's a guy in India that may be the anti-christ and he has the cult of the title. Meanwhile, the CIA researcher's girlfriend may be destined to be the mother of the second coming of Christ, so he has to avoid having sex with her while the bad guy pursues her... but wait, there's more! The baby's actually already here, there's all kinds of odd subplots that don't go anywhere, including a psychic lady that keeps appearing for no discernible reason. There's some ideas, like implanted eyeball cameras, that get tossed around. There's ping-ponging between locales (3 continents in 8 minutes), all of them looking similar and India especially looks fake. The director tries to be artistic, but it's distracting to see every scene dissolve into its negative. The acting is spotty, there's little action or violence and no gore, and there's one Playboy playmate that goes topless (memorably).
