All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

The Sacrament (2014)

Starring: AJ Bowen, Joe Swanberg, Kentucker Audler, Amy Seimetz, Gene Jones
Director: Ti West

Premise:
A news crew does a piece on an isolated communicated where one of the crew member's sister is staying. Once they arrive the community is not as happy as it leads on.

My Take:
A good film with solid performances, particular by Gene Jones as the cult leader. Though if you know anything about Jim Jones then one knows the movie parallels many of the tragedy's aspects. Still worth watching and kept me glued to my seat.

Rating: So Good
