Featured review
They didn't try very hard.
In a film where the point is to document the occult, it would be nice for them to show it in a natural light, and not make it look so dark and negative. I'm sorry I tried to keep an open mind, but as a witch I'm p**sed that every seen either had torture, nudity, or Satanism in it. My coven (not a cult a coven) doesn't pour blood on people, deflower virgins, sacrifice animals, or torture prostitutes. This documentary even scared me, so how can anyone claim that with an open mind these religions, as seen in the film, need not be feared. No offense but was this film produced by the Catholic church? They shot every scene in the dark of night it seems, and except for the hibernation story at the end it was all about torture, sacrifice and fear. This film needs to be re-shot in modern times by a non-by-est party. Once again, i'm p**sed.
