Horrific, on par with some of the best horror films, except worse cause it’s real
A disturbing and honest look at how evangelism can get out of control. Made me feel sad for the kids who are brainwashed into this.
Astounding capture of the brainwashing that occurs in many evangelical churches. This is just, perhaps, more extreme.
Scarier than most horror films you’ll ever watch
A poignant look at extremist and how they breed bigotry well before the current political landscape.
Brutally relevant. Disquieting and disheartening. As someone who came from a fundamentalist Evangelical background, I wish I was dead.
A harrowing glimpse into evangelical Christian childhood
Filmmakers get full access to a evangelical summer camp. A sobering look at the brainwashing and delusion endemic in these communities.
it's honestly scary to see the brain-washing that goes on in this.
Documentary about ignorance, indoctrination, and the ignorance of indoctrination at its finest. Engaging and infuriating.
