My quick rating - 5.2/10. Another home invasion-type movie. This one is a step up from the average though. The idea of an intervention to get a family's son out of a cult for the sake of his own life is new. The crazed son, aptly named Justin (Ben Sullivan) does a fantastic job and makes it much more creepy. His role and the cult itself when they attack moves this up in what without those two things is quite dull and run of the mill. The writers kept the insanity up outside the home in a decent way that kept you watching. So me saying I just wanted more of that tends to me watching until the end which leads right into a possible sequel, so maybe I will be graced with another.
