Reviews for The Believers
It was an especially smart move to cast Daniel Benzali as the cult's leader, The Teacher.
An intense, gripping and serious horror film. Has aged quite well since its theatrical release.
Dry and obvious cult thriller that starts out ugly and then just gets more and more confused.
