Ive done it again! Watched a weird film in hope that it was scary... Which it wasnt, not even a little bit. The story is about a young woman (Martha, who is played by Elisabeth Olsen, the Olsen twins little sister..)who is haunted by memories from the abusive cult she has fled from.
She lived in the cult for two years where they called her Marcy May and now when she is trying to re-assimilate with her sister and brother-in-law, she has a hard time seperating memories from her dreams.
And so have I as the viewer..
The cultleader - Patrick - is your average cultleader..full of praise and warm fuzzy love to start with, and then he turns violent and threatening.. Yawn... The script is so boring, any first-year dramastudent could have written it in his/her sleep. Max talks about how beautiful death is, because it is the ultimate "precense of oneself" or something just as meaningless...
What annoys me the most, is that everywhere you read about this film, it is described as a "Thriller" and it certainly isnt!
It is just like all films that tries to describe the "truth" behind a cult?
Dont we all know that by now? If you join or get lured into a cult, you will, nine times out of ten be abused, raped, beaten and brainwashed. Sadly there are more people who never find their way home again, than ones that do..
But the people who find the strength and curage to get help and leave, have difficulties to adapt, back to "normal" life again and will always need professional help. And unfortunately, I think a lot of people have to live the rest of their lives with heavy medication and counselling to be able to cope with day to day lives.
I dont recommend this film. Its crap. Dont watch it!
Here is the trailor anyway, just in case you are into boring cultfilms?
