The plot summary is kind of misleading.
There is a cult.
But it's not really a cannibal cult.
It's a white supremacist cult formed around one man, who sold his soul to the devil, to attain godlike power...though, he must destroy the first integrated church, established in the area, to do so.
Only...in order to fulfill his end of the bargain...he must first eat the flesh of a direct male descendent of the preacher who established the church.
A disgraced former boxer is the grandson of that preacher.
Who has returned to the house that sits upon the land where the church once stood, to collect his inheritance.
Hoping he can use it to pay for the cancer treatment that his only friend needs to survive.
But the only thing he has inherited...is the curse.
As he is targeted by a cult that has grown up around the boy- since turned demon- who sold his soul for unspeakable power.
Hence why they aren't actually a cannibal cult.
Rather, a demonic cult, centered around a head honcho that must engage in cannibalism in order to acquire the power he desires.
The storyline is kind of weird.
Though, certainly imaginative.
It's not exactly clear to me, why the other cult members were affected by the protective boundaries of the house, though.
I suppose they are also demons themselves?
But, it's not particularly evident how, or why, such is the case.
And, if so, why they can be killed by traditional means.
There is, however, a rather bizarre, yet interesting- and totally unexpected- twist at the end, you definitely won't see coming.
I just wish there was a bit more gore.
As all of the kills happen off camera.
Likely, due to budgetary constraints.
Considering it's an Uncork'd production, and all.
For a super low budget film, that takes place, solely, in one setting, however...it's not terrible.
But it isn't great either.
I, personally, appreciated the bizarreness of the storyline, for it's originality.
And how the plot was constructed to keep you in the dark.
Plus, the acting is fairly decent.
But I could definitely see it not being up everyone's alley.
Because it definitely has it's faults, as well.
4 out of 10.
