Them That Follow

Good cast with interesting relationship dynamics. Great cinematography as it felt very authentic. My problem is the storyline fell flat. Seems like they rushed through the end in an attempt to wrap it up. They kept building up the tension just for nothing to come of it. The ending was a bit comical. The parents have these very extreme views to the point your life is in danger and the girl comes in and with one word changes all of that in 2 seconds, it made no sense.

This was fairly decent as a dark suspense movie, and the cast was great except for the fellow who played the pastor. My fear is that people will believe this is the kind of thing that goes on in snake handling churches. Not the case at all. I have studied this culture for years and no one should take this as a true depiction of a snake handling church. There are many things depicted in here that would not be allowed in that world, and the service they showed was way off, as well as the theology behind snake handling. As long as people realize this is an extreme fictional off-the-wall cult and not about the real group, I'm sure they will certainly appreciate the good acting. But I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Amazing cast. Way better than expected.

A movie that tackles the cliche religion scenarios with a good amount of respect and understanding, but isn't as memorable as others films that deal with the subject matter.

Reasonably well-told story and decent acting, but the story was depressing. I also have little patience for people who create drama due to questionable belief structures.

The atmosphere and setting are amazingly crafted. However, the plot meanders from the very beginning and fizzles out in the end. Disappointing.

Them That Follow doesn't live up to its great cast. The script is predictable, while the deadly snakes are more of a side show. Despite Goggins and Colman, there is no emotional punch, it needs more bite.

'Them That Follow' is a tense, often unsettling drama, sometimes bordering on horror. It understands the disturbing nature of Southern religious extremism, and pulls no punches in its portrayal. And a truly haunting score, an isolated setting, and yet another stunning performance from Walton Goggins help to create a sense of pure dread that lasts up until the very end.

An average movie with a flat anti-climax for an end leaving viewers to give it their own conclusion. Not worth the time you spend waiting for the end.

Well acted and decent pacing, as I definitely became more engaged and interested as the film progressed, although the plot did have a paint by numbers feel at times.
