The Sacrament
We live here with an exciting adventure by two journalists documenting their friend's journey to find his lost sister. These friends decided to travel to a strange place where they travel to the 'Garden of Eden', the self-sufficient city. When they arrive there, they find in the middle of this religious and religious community a mysterious leader known as the 'Father'. Things change when their friend meets with his sister, realizing that people are not as happy as they seem, which seems quite strange in this place.

An overwhelmingly unoriginal thriller. "The Sacrament" borrows heavily, if not totally, from the 1978 Jonestown Massacre. But, it can't get the chills that even a bad documentary on Jonestown could give.

Gives enough unsettling atmosphere and upsetting gut-level shock that this viewer didn't mind too much all the stuff he wasn't getting ...

The Sacrament may not be a good movie, but it has enough virtues - enough gripping, well-put-together moments - that it made me reconsider my opinion of West as a director.

Unimaginative shocker.

What some may see as "slow and uneventful storytelling" I see as "subtle and masterfully sustained suspense."

Genuinely creepy and upsetting, the picture showcases West's ability to make even a tired subgenre marginally fresh.

The first half is a cautiously dread-inducing tour de force... The second half, however, when all hell breaks loose a little too quickly, is the disappointment.

Although this film is classified in the horror genre, it plays more like a suspenseful drama. This film shows that director Ti West has the potential to move beyond the horror genre, as so many other directors have done before him.

Everything that happens is what you'd expect, and the choice of subject and the modifications West has made to the generic conventions don't add much to the suspense or thrills.

The tension fizzles as The Sacrament narrows into predictability, indulging every cliché of found-footage filmmaking and Jonestown-styled cult apocalypticism.

West's found-footage structure doesn't always entirely make sense, but it's easy to forgive "The Sacrament" its flaws.

West also proves that horror can draw from real-world scenarios and give us surprisingly profound moments.
