Movies about cults

[nickr14]

Who knows of any good movies about cults? I remember the movie "Bad Dreams" had an intro with a mass suicide at a cult compound but that was the last we saw of them. Any good ones?

[strtfghtr]

Race with the Devil...that is all

[grlxx]

that's a good one, plus there's "Nightmare on the 13th floor",which is an okay TV movie.

[Get Some]

Fright :mad:

[3/6]

the only cult that matters is the Manson Family

M 4 L , manson 4 life for all you n00bz

[Darkgod]

Race with the devil is good... Fonda pwns.

[Slayer]

The Happening

I don't think so...

[woodenheart]

The Devil's Rain....1975 or 1976

Satan's School for Girls...made for tv...1973 and remake 2000

[Luris Blear]

Steelba just took us to school. See his list.

Suicide Club does feature a couple of small groups that may be considered cults; it includes the theme but I'd be hesitant to call it a movie about cults.

And now I want to watch Lord of Illusions again.

[Grendel]

Prob worth catching that new doc CNN put together for the 30th anniversary of the mass suicide of Jim Jones' Peoples' Temple at Jonestown.

Scarier than any movie about cults, that's for shit sure.

[Wally The Cannibal]

Jim Jones was a pussy magnet I betcha...with those shades he always wore. Makin' em weak in the knees!

Also, calling the the Happening a cult movie is like saying Sarah Jessica Parker has a soul...that shit don't match up.

[steelba]

I don't think so...
Agreed i'm pretty sure Fright added that in there since i've been editing his posts in horror talk :sure:
I've never even seen the Happening :nono:

[BooBerry]

Pulse aka Octane was an okay one from what i remember.

Fright :mad:
All the Colors of Dark - never saw
Lord of Illusions - tried watching about 10 times made it through once...
The Believers - never saw
Rosemary's Baby - decent
The Ninth Gate - love this one, a good thinking movie
Children of the Corn - overrated...
The Sentinel - incredible...the only one that comes close to Race with the Devil in terms of awesomness that I've seen

[Cataclysm]

Fertilize The Blaspheming Bombshell :thumbup:

Not a bad run down, the Believers is the best on the list..

[strtfghtr]

Not a bad run down, the Believers is the best on the list..

just imdb'd it...it's got Martin Sheen and Robert Loggia so it can't be too bad :hmmm:

I'll have to check it out

[steelba]

You'll probably like it..
Has some crazy scenes in it and good acting throughout.

[Wally The Cannibal]

Is Children of the Corn even worth picking up? I watched it as a kid of course but something comes over me telling me not to get it whenever I come across it even in the cheapest of scenarios...

[Cataclysm]

No. Well, it's worth picking up if you enjoy watching kids acting poorly in a movie but if your going for that, you might as well just watch "Beware! Children At Play".

[steelba]

No. Well, it's worth picking up if you enjoy watching kids acting poorly in a movie but if your going for that, you might as well just watch "Beware! Children At Play".
:lies:

Nah Cata's right, the flick isn't really good, very little on screen action..

[Cataclysm]

Yeah, doesn't all the action happen right at the beginning and then a little bit at the end?

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

yeah, get Beware! Children at Play...or get Children of the Corn 2....it has one of the funniest death scenes ever :mhehe:

[steelba]

Yeah, doesn't all the action happen right at the beginning and then a little bit at the end?
Yeah and in the begining they don't show much, pretty lame stuff.
The end isnt to great either, I guess the idea is what gave the film it's hype.

[strtfghtr]

oh i just thought of another cult movie:

Eyes Wide Shut...but that sucks major taint

[LadyFrankenstein]

I don't know that I'd consider The Sentinel to be a cult movie so much as it was a possession/supernatural film. Nevertheless, it is an excellent film.

A good cult film, based on a true story, would be The Manson Family. I don't think anything I've ever read about Manson and his followers could have prepared me for this. It goes from being sexual and dreamlike at times, to violent, angry, in-your-face and unapologetic quite quickly leading up to the fateful night of the Tate murders. After viewing this, I find it near impossible to have any sympathy for the followers still in prison begging for parole. It's scary how much influence one man had over this group of people. This was the 2003 film where Phil Anselmo of Pantera plays the voice of Satan.

[rotten_zombie]

hot fuzz.

[Wally The Cannibal]

hot fuzz.

Touche salesman! That one went right under the radar, yikes.

[Jungle_Julia]

Wouldnt the wicker man (orig.) be considered a movie about a cult?

[steelba]

good dig, that is indeed one.

[Jungle_Julia]

Just finished the sentinel. Wierd flick i liked it

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

One I could think off the bat is Population 436

Not really about a religious cult or anything, but kinda cultish.

It's decent nonetheless, but nothing more.

[steelba]

The Mephisto Waltz

good cult movie that was really well made..

[FrighT MasteR]

Agreed i'm pretty sure Fright added that in there since i've been editing his posts in horror talk :sure:
I've never even seen the Happening :nono:

You're an idiot; if I wanted to edit your post I'd make you say something more than "The Happening" :dsp:

[steelba]

I've never even seen the happening :dsp:

[FrighT MasteR]

Well I didn't edit your mofo post :dsp:

[steelba]

edit this :finger3:

[steelba]

Cobra 'Stallone'

[LadyFrankenstein]

OMG I love Cobra, one of my fav Stallone movies! Completely forgot about the Mephisto Waltz, great choice.

[steelba]

:coolbeer:

[Knight]

Cobra 'Stallone'

Yeah who could forget the 'New Order' of underground axe-clanking businessmen and postal workers.

'Cobra' is the greatest film ever made.

that may be a true statement...

[nickr14]

Ok. Looks like I have a lot of movie watching to do. Thanks for the suggestions.
