An awesomely silly, tasteless and half-witted movie.

An exceptionally well-made horror yarn that really gets under the skin.

a solid piece of genre work that manipulates its familiar material in interesting ways

At heart, The Believers is a remake of Rosemary's Baby with none of the wit and twice as much gore.

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.

Audience Reviews for The Believers
-
Sep 30, 2012What starts out like a family drama soon enters serial thriller territory and finally ends up being a supernatural horror film. The greatest trick this film pulls is that those aspects flow into each other really well and make for a very entertaining, sometimes disturbing and ultimately exciting film. That's also thanks to the acting, particularly Sheen makes for a convincing police psychologist and father, whose son is threatened by an voodoo cult. Even though the film is clearly a child of its time (the 80s), the shocks and twists still work and the wonderfully unpleasant final punchline stays with you for quite a while. Very good!Jens S Super Reviewer
