The Sacrament

:// INTRO

I love scary movies. Wait, you don’t understand, I looooooooooooooove scary movies. It’s a fun escape, that rush of adrenaline you feel when a moment starts building up, you know something is seconds away from happening and yet, you cannot look away.

I call it “peaceful dread” (patent pending).

It’s basically the same high you get when you are going up the mountain on a rollercoaster. Then, BAM! It hits you at 182 miles per hour. That’s when you start naming everything that you’ve been told is holy, or, you start calling your fecal movements by their pejorative terms.

:// NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST.

As much as I love to see Jason chase someone down, or see my man Michael look at someone with those “black-as-sin” eyes, there is one thing that scares me above all the rest.

The Cult mentality.

And I mean REAL CULT MENTALITY. The sign-over-all-your-shit-and-abandon-your-family-as-you-seek-enlightenment kind. 

The formula is simple: a greater mind casts influence over a weaker mind. Then, once the jig is up, prison time is usually included somewhere.

That said, I was super intrigued when I first saw the Trailer for The Sacrament. Not to mention that the filmmakers actually got permission to use VICE’s branding. Sexy.

Ya’ll need Jesus.

:// THAT FUNNY TASTING KOOLAID

This move was fantastic in every aspect. The script, the way it was put together, the world building, goddamn (no pun intended), you name it.

Another one in the library which is extremely difficult to discuss without spoiling the picture for someone. 

Highly recommended.
