THE SACRAMENT Midnight

Patrick is a photographer whose once drug-addicted sister, Caroline, is a member of an isolated sober-living community in Mississippi. Patrick discovers that the program is closer to a communal-living collective and that there is a strange and charismatic leader of the group, known only as “Father.” When his sister leaves the country to start a new utopian society in the jungle, he enlists two co-workers to shoot a documentary on their whereabouts. Based on detailed research of the infamous Jonestown massacre, THE SACRAMENT is a thoroughly terrifying examination of modern religion, charismatic influence and the exploitation of power. Director Ti West explores the horrific idea of a man who can talk people into killing themselves. Who could wield such power, and who could be susceptible to a vast array of grotesque suggestions? A shocking tale of devotion gone horribly wrong, THE SACRAMENT offers a disturbing vision of groupthink.
