The Belgian movie "The Brand New Testament" earns critical acclaim because of its modern take on biblical themes. The movie though having a seemingly Christian title, is considered non-denominational enabling everyone of different religions enjoy and appreciate it.
The movie "The Brand New Testament" revolves around the story of one man who never leaves home and is always on his pajamas. He takes on sadistic satisfaction to torment humans by coming up with new laws geared to bring torment and torture. He is also a tyrant to his daughter Ea and his wife.
The movie then continues as Ea has had enough of her father's lunacy and abuse. As her way to rebel and somehow get back at his father, she hacked into his computer and leaks the entire world and sends a vital information through SMS. This important text message reveals each and everyone's date of death according to Rotten Tomatoes.

The movie shows how this simple SMS spawns everyone out of control. One scene shows one young man jumping out of the window because the SMS reveals he is to live for 62 more years. Other one shows a young boy who then decides to be a girl because he doesn't have much time to live.
Ea then has to have her apostles made of six varying personalities. It includes a one-armed woman, a sex maniac, a killer, a woman who has been left by her husband, an office worker, and a gender dysphoric child. This is her way to help fix the chaos that she created which is presented in the movie "The Brand New Testament."
