The Sacrament (2013 film)


The Sacrament is a 2013 American found footage horror thriller film directed by Ti West. A. J. Bowen and Joe Swanberg play journalists who document their coworkers Kentucker Audley attempt to locate his sister Amy Seimetz after she joins a reclusive religious commune. The films plot borrows heavily from the real life events of the Jonestown Massacre of 1978.

At the commune itself, armed guards delay the entry of the film crew. Feeling uneasy, Jake and Sam begin to regret the trip, but Patrick is able to smooth things over when his sister appears. Caroline enthusiastically welcomes them and apologizes for the misunderstanding. Caroline leaves with Patrick, and Jake and Sam are given their own cabin. After settling in, the two attempt to find members to interview. Several of the people open up to them and tell stories of how Father has saved them and given them newfound hope. The communes nurse, Wendy, reveals that the commune has a wellstocked medical center funded by donations from the members, who sold off all their possessions.Privately, the filmmakers express their skepticism but admit that the members seem happy and have accomplished much. Caroline arranges an interview with Father, and Sam prepares a list of questions. However, Father will only agree to do the interview during a public meeting. Father, an older Southerner, greets them warmly and at first answers the questions openly. However, his answers become more evasive and vaguely threatening. Near the end of the interview, Father raises the subject of Sams pregnant wife, which Sam had mentioned earlier to Wendy. Put offguard, Sam fumbles and loses control of the interview, and Father politely but dominantly cuts it short with roaring applause from his followers, who proceed to engage in a party. ........
