Joel Copling Spectrum Culture Let’s Start a Cult is based upon an alternately wacky and alarming idea that, thankfully, the filmmakers mine for most of its potential. Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Refreshingly zany and amusing, but not very funny, bold, witty or clever. Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies Let's Start a Cult is ridiculous and over-the-top at times, but there's a level of understanding for its despairing characters that keeps it grounded. Rated: 3/4 Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

jugnugget Great pace, witty, funny, fun!, great casting, all the subtle comedic gestures Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Gunnar Your new favorite comedy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Paul M Good, old fashioned Comedy, like they used to make in the 80's - Theres SOME SORT of laugh every few minutes- fast paced, no slow parts really, nice, short 90 mins Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Julie W Finally a movie that you can tell was made by regular people for regular people. Was it the best movie no but I can genuinely say that I’d watch this movie over the constant stream of remakes and annoying box checking movies that Hollywood has been making these last ten years. Got some great laughs, a stupid (in a good way) easy to follow plot line that allows you to actually just enjoy what a movie is really supposed to do which is to entertain. I think a little bigger budget would’ve made this movie hit a bigger mark and I hope people support this film so that we can get an even bigger better movie from this great self made film crew! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Vancity R Stavy is fuggin hillarioous Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Spencer H Very good and refreshing comedy.
