La Secta Del Himalaya

This movie is worth watching. I am a big horror fan and I loved this movie. Didn't expect anything and walked away so glad I found it online. Such superb editing and story board! Bravo! Hands down one of the most well thought out and perfectly edited horror films I have ever seen and I've seen everything. I will be looking at any and all movies that this director makes. Love horror and this is literally one of the best ones I've seen in years. If you're having second thoughts I promise just jump in head first. You won't be sorry. Loved the ending too: bittersweet. Can't believe how good this was.

This one surprises me a lot. The production overall is just superb. The story grabs the attention of the audience all the way with such a clever and reasonable plot, great editing, talented cast, the sound effects and cg effects are excellent as a horror film. It has double twists and they work well. The main characters are performed by experienced actors and actresses and they all look believable in their roles. The child actresses did good job, too.

I think this is one good thrill ride. It keeps us wanting to know more how the mother would solve this problem with the tenants and her own husband. There are ghosts popping up here and there, and yes, they are scary. The dark ritual also looks strange and frightening.

Usually I don't give 9 rating to a horror film because it doesn't give any meaningful message. However, the sad but surprisingly touching and beautiful ending of the film made me decide to give higher rating. Surely, you won't be able to guess the ending before the climax scene. It shows that the writer of the story is smart and also has a heart.

Almost gave up good movies on Netflix, but then this pearl showed up , this is a very good horror movie , its walk the walk and talk the talk , a horror all inclusive , close to perfect

The story is very good, its scary actually, make you crawl up in the corner with the shamepillow infront of your face, not many movies can do that , this is asian quality on its edge, what I like most in this movie is the nonstop happenings, its start to be creepy pretty fast and then it just keep going with no breaks , you sit like a burning candle from first minute to the last

Acting is ok , effects aswell , but little bit the week points in this movie and it is little bit to long ,,, but this is anyway a very good horror movie.

This is such a creepy film.

And to think it's actually based on true events is wild.

The film is constructed in three parts; woven together to tell a single story; from the perspectives of three different characters.

The first third of the film is told from the perspective of Ning, the mother of Ing, and wife of Kwin.

In this section, we watch them trade their family home for a condo, as they rent out their house to, people they believe are doctors.

Originally, this is Ning's idea...but, for some mysterious reason, Kwin goes along with it.

Though, Ning quickly starts to realize that something nefarious is afoot.

That it has something to do with a cult; her daughter; and that Kwin very well might be involved in it.

An intermediary section then flashes back to how they met.

Followed by a rehashing of events, from the perspective of Kwin.

Through which the mystery is slowly unraveled.

As we learn what Kwin has been up to...and what the cult's plans for young Ing really are.

The intrigue of the mystery- and fact that the whole thing is based on actual events- really manages to keep you hooked throughout.

Before things shift to the perspective of "Mother" Ratree...the matriarchal leader of the cult at work here.

Which is when all the twists and turns start to kick in...and things start to get weird.

As the film gets more intense, as the pace quickens, and things veer in a direction you never would have guessed.

It's actually a pretty bad ass little film...that totally needs a true crime documentary to compliment (as a special feature, or something).

Because I can't help but want to learn more about what sort of insanity this was actually based upon.

7 out of 10.

I watched the movie in a theater and bought the ticket for about 2.5$, not knowing anything about it. I'm impressed with Thai and Indonesian horror movies, this one is not an exception.

I don't want to spoil the plot, so I'd say it has more than a possessed item storyline. The movie also tells the story following the sides of each of the two protagonists, explaining certain things and situations in detail.

It's an amazing movie overall and feels like a blockbuster - great CGI, editing and soundtrack, believable acting, etc.

It feels like the team and director respect the viewer, while I can't say it's something super new for the genre, it's definitely really well made and just feels quaility.
