His Only Son is an idea that David Helling has been working on for years. While in Iraq with the Marines, his idea bloomed. Over the next few years, he polished his idea and viola, His Only Son was born. This is the telling of Abraham’s story. His devotion through it all never faltered.
Helling did a great job on an ancient story. His style is what I found most interesting. As the story unfolds you travel back and forth between pivotal moments in his and his family’s life. Both storylines meet up at the end and produce a powerful climax.

This movie isn’t for everyone. It’s a slow-moving story, but it makes sense why he was leading you up to a fantastical moment.
Grade: B
About The Peetimes:Â I have 2 choices for you, I would most definitely recommend the 1st Peetime. The final Peetime should only be used for emergencies.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of His Only Son.

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
