“…it might be best compared to a European art house interpretation of David Fincher’s Fight Club with less social commentary and more personal angst.”

TrustMovies loves Prayer to a Vengeful God!

TrustMovies’ James van Maanen singles out Vengeful in his great Royal Flush Festival review:

“…though the no-dialog idea sounds like simply a stunt, it is handled so well for so long a time, that if you didn’t know that this was the case, for awhile, at least, you might not even realize it… Dialog is not necessary here; the lack of it, in fact, increases our suspense while keeping us focused on what’s going on visually.”

Killer Reviews calls Vengeful “artistic genius”!

Gavin Schmitt of Killer Reviews gives Prayer to a Vengeful God 4/5 stars.

“…By lacking dialogue, we are sucked in more, left to analyze more deeply on visuals and actions… and the varieties of interpretation come into play. There is a set narrative, but some aspects are ambiguous — but this adds to, not takes away from, the film; you can watch it again and again.”

Q&A with Dan Eberle

After his wife is tragically murdered, and he is mortally wounded at the hands of her murderer, John Krause rouses from a four-month dream to a waking nightmare of pain, addiction, violation, loss, and finally, all-consuming vengeance. Prayer To A Vengeful God is the story of one man’s journey from upstanding citizen, to debilitated mental case, to battle-hardened street killer. And all to kill a man he’s never met, to commemorate a wife he never really knew. Tacitly told in a lyrical cinematic style, entirely without dialogue, Prayer To A Vengeful God is a silent study of how the lust for vengeance twists and rends, and despite its carnal satisfactions, never changes the past.

The Jaded Viewer: Vengeful God an “independent classic”!

By Insurgent Pictures LLC. on September 2, 2010 | Category: News |

Jeff Atencio of The Jaded Viewer says of Prayer to a Vengeful God: “The world Dan Eberle creates is filled with drug addicts, criminals, low lives and vagrants. They all participate in a cinematic ballet where our main character John Krause seeks his vengeance served cold. The performances by the entire cast are spectacular…”
