How the Fire Fell is an intriguing blend of drama and eerie tension, diving into the dark side of fervent belief. It captures the atmosphere of early 1900s Oregon with a level of dread that feels palpable. The pacing ebbs and flows, mirroring the rising tensions within the cult led by Edmund Creffield. The performances, particularly those of the followers, bring a haunting sincerity to their devotion, which contrasts sharply with the sinister undertones of the narrative. There's a rawness to the way it presents themes of manipulation and familial strife, really drawing you into the moral complexities of the situation. Plus, the practical effects are surprisingly effective for the budget, adding a layer of authenticity that’s often hard to come by.
