In utterly abysmal Irish serial-killer so-called thriller "Cult Killer" Alice Eve (dreadful - a career low even for her) is a novice private investigator with issues, probing (with cop Paul Reid) the brutal stabbing murder of her mentor Antonio Banderas (oh how the mighty have fallen) by Shelley Henning who's herself killing off an aging group of sadistic child abusers (including Matthew Tompkins, Olwen Fouéré & Nick Dunning) who kept her captured & tortured as a sex-toy for years. Director Jon Keeyes & debut writer Charles Burnley fail to build any tension or atmosphere, instead they just pile on cringe, implausibility and disappointment. Absolultely dire. A turd. Flush it away.
