cult starts 20 years ago on the quinling mountain range and southern china as a guy called owen quinlin (robert berson) finds an ancient amulet said to have magical powers and cut to california where quinlin has set up a cult and the members are about to sacrifice themselves when one of them (cazzy golomb) foils his evil scheme. jump forward to the present day as five college students and mindy (rachel miner) and cassandra (taryn manning) and bailey (glenn dunk) and alex (joel michaely) and morgan (victoria venegas) are researching the events of twenty years ago that have become know as the quinling massacre for a school project. unfortunately morgan decides to kill herself which unleashes the evil spirit of owen quinlin for reasons that are rather tenuous and he sets about completing what he started all those years ago by claiming souls so he can finally inherit the magical powers of the amulet for his own evil use. edited and co produced and directed by joe knee this is not a good film and that being kind to it. the script by benjamin oren which seems to take itself very seriously is a dour supernatural tale about a cult leader who comes back from the dead to finish what he started a few years prior and as you would expect the character involved now have links to what happened all those years ago and it as dull as it sounds. the character are bland and forgettable and the dialogue just as much so and there no proper horror or exploitation in it and it slow going at times and it predictable and it clichéd and it goes completely off the rails at the end and doesn not make much sense when you think about it. the story never grips or engages you and it never exciting or particularly interesting and i would struggle to even call it average. there is very little here by which i could recommend cult and do not bother with this one. director knee does alright but the film has that bland shot on video made for tv look about it and it utterly forgettable and flat stuff throughout. there no scares and there no atmosphere and it lacks any tension. there is no gore either and sure there a fair amount of blood splatter but no proper actual special make up effect gore scenes. with a supposed budget of about $950 and 000 cult looks cheap although it not as badly made as some low budget horror films i have seen recently. the acting isn not even worth mentioning. cult is a poor film that do not do anything for me and i would struggle to call this average. there are much better horror films out there.
