Rating: Summary: Freaky and full of fear film! Review: This is a pretty scarey movie! The fact that it is a little old does not detract because this could happen anytime in any decade. In a nutshell; A Father and his young son deal with shattering events in their lives and then are pulled into terrifying dangerous world of cults and ritualistic murder. Will they both come through all this alive? More, if the above looks exciting: The father is a police psychologist and there are some strange killings with horrible cult like killings. The father is deemed thru his job to frame a profile of this killer so that they can catch the killer. As the movie moves forward, things begin to happen that keep you on the edge of your seat and delve you into the strange freakish world of cults and sacrificial killings. Soon this father and his son are pulled into the killer(s) world closer and closer and it will affect them both for the rest of their lives if they live through it! Shocking surprise of an ending but I won't give any telling details of the movie away in case you want to see this and haven't yet seen the movie on cable or reg. tv. I would rent it before buying because it's a pretty disturbing movie but great if you like really freaky scarey movies. If you liked Angel heart, you'll love this film. I liked it but it bothered me and I couldn't sleep well for several nights after seeing it the first time.

Rating: Summary: The Believers Review: who cares about santaria and how true it was protrayed? not me. The movie is about boys being murdered by a cult for sacrifies that will give them power. Fast moving with very good acting. keeps you on edge. The boy does very good acting and the movie is very entertaining. Wanna get scared and have a good movie to watch on Friday night? Well this is it. Does not have all the blood and guts of a slasher movie. But plot moves foward at a good click and I liked it. Not very expensive and would make a good addition to your video library. Thumbs up, own it today.
