(HORROR) Children of Sorrow - 2014 ****

Despite saying 2013 on the poster it wasn't released until a year later. 'Children of Sorrow' is a nightmare of epic proportions. It's what happens when people believe in a person who convinces them that he can make their time on earth worthwhile. Inevitably that person is wrong, and usually very evil.
A woman tries to find out what happened to her sister who mysteriously died after joining a cult, but in doing so becomes obsessed with the place herself.
Scary, because this can and has happened.

Pervert! - 2005 **

A very ridiculous and over the top movie. Lots of breast shots and pointless nudity. Quite funny in parts, but overall just bad. Don't bother. 

Martha Marcy May Marlene - 2011 **

I had been wanting to watch this movie for ages. I love things about cults added to which it had been nominated for various awards. What could possibly go wrong? Well, pretty much the whole movie that's what. Elizabeth Olsen isn't a good actress, (following in suit with her two sisters I assume) and so having to focus on her for the entire movie as she painstakingly dragged herself through each scene was rather like watching paint dry. I suppose she did portray a post-cult member rather well, doing inappropriate things like swimming naked, wetting herself after having nightmares and walking into her sister's room in the middle of the night when her sister is having sex with her husband.
Not a brilliant movie, with a totally ambiguous ending which ruined it even more.

The Baby - 1973 **

This is one of the weirdest films I have ever seen. Apparently a 'cult classic' I can only imagine it's because people are completely traumatised by it afterwards.

A young social worker goes to investigate a case involving a family's strange relationship with their baby, the only thing out of the ordinary is that the 'baby' is a 31 year old man.

It's one of those films that gives you the creeps and afterwards you feel a bit disturbed. I suppose it does satisfy 'cult' status but it's not something I would want to see again. Sort of makes you wonder why this film is so hard to find. It reminds me a bit of how I felt after watching 'Pink Flamingos', just like I wanted to drench myself in cold water to get rid of the shock. The only thing I did like was that the mother character sounds a cross between Joan Crawford and Shirley MacLaine. Bizarre.
