info_outlineThe Sacrament (2013) has its roots grounded firmly in the true story surrounding the Jonestown tragedy from 1978.

The Sacrament (2013)
Ti West is a controversial film maker around the HNR offices. His entries in the anthology films The ABC's of Death and VHS are responsible for some of the rockiest reviews on the show. While his past films get some love, House of the Devil and The Innkeepers, The Sacrament does not earn many accolades. Even Vixen is hardened by the blatant similarities to Jonestown and the films based on that real life tragedy. Even though Gene Jones does a great job as The Father, the leader of the cult, the story itself never brings anything original to the film. Bah, humbug.
What Have You Been Watching: Mutantis
Doc Rotten and The Black Saint are here to share an experience that defies explanation, the film called Mutantis from Dire Wit Films. Low budget effects, sophomoric humor and a keen sense of self awareness, Mutantis is unlike any film you have ever seen.
Horror News of the Week for 09/29/2014
