Holy Hell (2016)
Blue balls
Very promising topic and the filmmakers heart and motivation is in the right place, and I respect the victims that came out about their stories, but the documentary went nowhere. There were too many unnecessary repeated sequences that kept in a way glorifying the ugly creepy "master." Yet, there was not enough coverage at all of the actual bonds and love between the cult members, which made the ending portraits hardly deliver any feeling to us as audience. On another note, something did not feel genuine about the filmmakers intention to "confront" the ugly creepy master. I hate to say this because the ugly creepy master is clearly a very evil psychopathic demon, but that confrontation was between ex-lovers, not a victim who needs closure, especially with the "are you being a good boy?" line. That hidden camera moment was such a waste. I wish he punched the fillers out of the ugly creepy "master's" face!at least.
