His Only Son

This is a special review for the movie His Only Son.

His Only Son recounts one of the most controversial moments in the Old Testament—when Abraham was commanded by God to sacrifice his son Isaac on the mountain of Moriah. While traveling to the place of the sacrifice, alongside Isaac and two servants, Abraham is flooded with vivid memories from the years he and Sarah spent longing for the son they were promised—the son he must now lay upon the altar.

His Only Son is the first movie ever to crowdfund its theatrical release. The film partnered with Angel Studios—the studio that made The Chosen drama series—in 2022 to crowdfund over $1,235,000 for its March 2023 theatrical release.

An independent film made on a shoestring budget of less than $250,000 — it was initially set to premiere in around 600 theaters. But thanks to a crowdfund that raised over $1,235,000 in under a week and overwhelmingly positive reviews from audience members, it’s now showing in 1,200 theaters and counting.

The sacrifice of Abraham and Isaac parallels the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. The location where Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac, Mount Moriah, is also believed to be the same location where the Temple in Jerusalem was built, where Christ was later crucified.


I believe that this Easter film will leave a profound spiritual impact, and it could be one of the most impactful Easter films in a generation. See His Only Son in theaters this Easter! Buy tickets here.
