Nico F @DinoDrake 1d A fresh twist on the genre! A woman waking up from a 5 year coma to discover a cult has taken over her town, and in their grief her family has joined up! Charismatic performances and beautiful shots make this movie stand out. And for a lower budget indy feature, this is a triumph for any fan of thrillers! Though I do wish the final action sequences would have had a bit more to offer, this movie was always an exploration of grief and faith before it was an action horror. Give it a watch, it's clear a lot of heart and soul went into this! See more Ted J. @teddyJ44 1d The story really flows well, it’s engaging and gripping the entire time. This is a must see! See more Dave R @DaveRaynalds101 1d I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this movie - I knew it was a low budget movie going into it, so expectations were low, but wow. this blew me away - it gripped me from the opening scene and just flew - The last part was like a roller coaster - it just built and built and then exploded into non-stop action. Alec James (the cult leader) and his Female partner were phenomenal - He especially was riveting - he dominates the screen with a powerful presence - it really needs to be seen on a big screen, and I don't say that lightly. Definitely a surprise - and definitely worth seeing at theaters! See more Read all reviews
