In Is God Is, twin sisters embark on a haunting, blood-soaked quest for revenge that forces them to confront the dark secrets buried deep within their family’s past. What begins as a mission handed down by their estranged mother soon spirals into an epic, genre-bending journey across stark landscapes and moral boundaries — pushing them to extraordinary, and often terrifying, extremes.
Marking the bold directorial debut of Aleshea Harris, the film is adapted from Harris’s award-winning stage play of the same name. Blending elements of suspense and mythic revenge drama, Is God Is delivers a gripping cinematic experience that fuses poetic storytelling with explosive, emotionally charged confrontations.
The powerhouse cast includes Kara Young (The Rough One) and Mallori Johnson (The Quiet One) as the determined sisters at the heart of the story, alongside Janelle Monáe, Erika Alexander, Mykelti Williamson, and Josiah Cross. Vivica A. Fox‘s standout performances further elevate the ensemble. Fox and Sterling K. Brown add gravitas and emotional depth to this fierce tale of justice and reckoning.
Rated R for strong/bloody violence and language, Is God Is is a visceral revenge thriller that explores faith and fury with unapologetic intensity. With its striking visual style and powerful performances, the film stands as a daring and unforgettable addition to contemporary suspense cinema.
