VHS Movie Reviews of Believers [VHS]

Movie Review: Hoodoo You Think You Are?...
Summary: 5 Stars

Martin Sheen (The Dead Zone) plays Cal Jamison, a psychologist who gets mixed up w/ a cult that practices human sacrifice (on kids no less). It seems that this underground group of hoodoo fanatics is responsible for a recent pair of child mutilations. Dr. Jamison, who has already lost his wife in a bizarre kitchen "accident", must now fight to keep his only son from the clutches of this mob of murderous, religious crazies! He is helped by a tough, cynical cop (Robert Logia from Independence Day and Scarface) and by a local practitioner of santeria. Jimmy Smits ("NYPD Blue") is an early victim, and Richard Masur (The Thing) plays Jamison's lawyer. THE BELIEVERS is actually pretty frightening and effective in it's presentation of black magic at work in New York City. Add it to your horror / supernatural thriller collection...

Summary of Believers [VHS]

John Schlesinger's The Believers, a kind of voodoo twist on Rosemary's Baby, is a horror movie where the echoes of otherworldly menace set the tone of terror, but the real evil comes from the hearts of humans. Recently widowed psychologist Martin Sheen moves to New York with his emotionally fragile son, and they become entwined in an underground cult that practices ritual sacrifice of children. Schlesinger is more interested in the human tale of loss and healing and the desperation of a grieving father fighting to protect his only child from a barbarous cabal. He favors mood and menace over spectacular splashes of horror, and even those moments of occult attack are directed with a sly sense of ambiguity. Though overlong and short on moments of genuine terror, this is a rare horror movie grounded in the palpable and powerful emotions of its characters. --Sean Axmaker
