I hadn't seen the trailer, and was expecting a run of the mill politics movie, but was pleasantly surprised. It felt like a movie from the early 90s, which I enjoyed. The only complaint I have is the ending, made the rest feel less meaningful.
Nothing 'supernatural' about this film - starts out as a bloody horror flick, and ends up as a documentary of a crazy cult. The pacing was very stop and go. Kerry Bishe's good performance was marred by sound editing that made her incredibly breathy
