Sermon of the Serpent is this intriguing short documentary that really pulls you into the world of snake handling in southern West Virginia. The atmosphere is thick with reverence and danger, especially knowing Mack Wolford's personal history with the faith—his father died from a rattlesnake bite during a service. It’s only 15 minutes long, but it really captures the intensity and passion of this unique religious practice. The rawness of the performances feels genuine, giving you a glimpse into a life intertwined with both spirituality and peril. The pacing is just right; it builds a sense of dread that mirrors the unpredictable nature of the snakes themselves, making it quite distinctive in the documentary landscape.
