great film . some rather large plot hole that could have be easily avoid and if one be go to be honest and and at time the thing be frustratingly obscure and careless with logic . but believer have a very creepy air and the acting be generally superb and and the end be if predictable a light year off totally brilliant . the movie play like a very long episode of the outer limit ( the 60 original and not the wretched colour revival ) and and that no bad thing . i suspect this movie play good outside of the u american audience tend to like everything explain with a minimum of ambiguity and and this movie have a very cavalier attitude towards plot information . bad plot flaw damage the overall impact the incredibly half hearted search for the paramedic and the far too swift ex conversion of the hero buddy and the unexplained resurrection of a woman cult member and the badly answered question of why the paramedic need to be kidnap at all etc . but and ahhh and i have see a film that have make bad mistake . believer be most effective in the little detail . the ever present loud speaker in the compound and constantly burble propaganda you can only half hear and the glassy expression on the face of the cult member and the fact that these weird people be scary because they be not overtly evil . perhaps more important be the fact that and like the leader with the hero and the movie never try to convince you to believe in what be happen . you can take it or leave it on one level or another . comparison with jonestown be obvious and but the film general tone owe a large debt to the aum supreme truth cult in japan and with it fetish for electronic device and quasi scientific esoterica and the usage of poison gas and and the idea that the charismatic leader hold a revealed indisputable truth . daniel benzali be electrify a the teacher and create a sort of colonel kurtz character . the quanta group second in command and who appear at the start in the tv interview and and whose name elude me and be also superb . check out the deleted scene on the dvd for moment feature both men and both apparently improvise for the most part and that be good than anything keep in the movie . puzzle omission . the movie also contain one of the more chilling torture scene in recent memory and in the shape of the electro shock purging of the hero . devoid of gore and this scene be make frightening ( for me at least ) by the complete lack of emotion show by the torturer . it for your own good deliver in a weary monotone be far scary than a truckload of texas chainsaw evil chuckling over a victim . but that end and a very erotic sex scene and the aforementioned est torture moment and and a general air of weirdness and repress hysteria and give this film an edge . well worth see .
