No Horror Movie is scarier than one that is a True Story !!, 15 November 2003
Author: Roly from Australia

There is no words that can adequately define the impact that this movie will have, its the sort of movie that you watch once but will stick with you forever simply due to the fact that such a horror movie could not be imagined if it was not True !!.

This is such a powerful yet darkly disturbing movie that my advice is don't watch it alone or if you are easily upset.

Marvelous performances by Polly Walker as the emotionally invested social worker will have you Loving her, and Luc Picard as the what can only be described as a Perverted and deeply destructive Cult leader. Make this a very rarely seen master piece that deserves to be watched just to applaud the womens strength in facing there Demon.

I hope you get as much from this film as i did, but i wont say enjoy it because you truly shouldn't enjoy this story.
