SECT

About This Movie

So, 'Sect' is an interesting piece from 2022 that delves into the intersection of personal crisis and the allure of charismatic leadership. Luke, fresh out of recovery, is trying to rebuild his life, and that’s when things get tangled up with his buddy Mark’s newfound obsession with a pastor. The tone is quite atmospheric, almost suffocating at times, which adds to the tension as Luke navigates his own demons while grappling with the magnetic pull of this church. The pacing has a deliberate rhythm that keeps you on edge, and the performances, especially Luke’s journey, feel quite raw. It's got that unsettling vibe, where you're not sure what's real and what’s manipulation—definitely a film that lingers in the mind long after viewing.
