Heavenquest: A Pilgrim’s Progress is a gripping film inspired by John Bunyan’s classic tale “The Pilgrim’s Progress”.

Heavenquest follows a regal man named Vangel, who is thrust on a journey against his will when he is suddenly and mysteriously arrested. Injured and lost after escaping the dark king’s men, Vangel begins to have strange dreams and visions of a mysterious woman in white calling him from the unknown territory of the North.

Armed with a book called “The Record of the Ancients” that he receives from a wise sage named Elder, Vangel embarks on an adventure that takes him through a treacherous mountain range, unending deserts, the Lake of Doubts, and the Forest of No Return. Along the way, Vangel learns about a fabled good king and his son in the North, but first, he must make it there alive.

This film could be seen as a sort of prequel to The Pilgrim’s Progress and knowledge of John Bunyan’s book would be beneficial to gain an understanding of what is happening in this film as at times it can be hard to follow and sometimes over-complicated.

These parallels to Bunyan’s book contain similar inspiring spiritual allegories, but without being overt and would need explaining to someone unaware, making this a great discussion starter. This is more of a fantasy adventure movie with some violent scenes that wouldn’t make it suitable for children (rated 15).

Overall this inspired prequel to The Pilgrim’s Progress is well crafted with some fantastic cinematography and special effects which will keep fantasy fans entertained with its gripping story.
