A competently made documentary-style folk horror. This film is very clearly influenced by the Jonestown Massacre incident where a cult leader convinced people to commit mass suicide. I don't think the film itself is really anything that special but it's still entertaining and thought provoking nonetheless. As a found footage, it suffers from some of the issues that most films of the sub-genre do but what makes it horrifying in a very real way is when you taking into consideration that it's based on real events. Even if you can see something coming from miles away, it doesn't make this film any less unsettling. There's a great escalation of suspense and some truly horrific moments which left me uneasy the whole time. Amazing performances from everyone involved, especially Gene Jones as a charismatic and scary cult leader.

Like wearing shorts in March, it doesn't cover much, and what it does cover isn't that hot.

Still... Found Footage horror on a Friday night!

Sure, this is less a found footage film than it is a true crime reenactment of the Jonestown massacre but...

Found Footage horror on a Friday night!

Just another Ti West Borefest

An utter failure on every level of filmmaking.

I don't think I ever buy into the relatively success Ti West had with House of the Devil... This is Jonestown the movie x VICE advertisement that wasn't very exciting to watch for me.
