Belief: The Possession of Janet Moses

This documentary only gets 5.3 stars on IMDb, I give it 9 stars. It is probably one of the best and most disturbing documentaries I've ever watched.

There is a lot of very good reenacted scenes, not easy to do unless you have superb actors and a great director. Which this movie has an abundance of.

It also has a lot of footage of the actual people who were involved in the investigation and trial of this tragic event. Their incite is very important and is well balanced.

This was not sensationalized but really digs into what happened. It is hard to watch for sure, but without really getting a sense of what Janet really endured, along with this poor family, it would not serve any of them well.

I encourage you to try to not jump to quick judgment on these folks, that is what most of us do when we do not understand cultures different than our own, or people we really no little of.

This is basically the story of a woman with severe mental health issues who is tortured by her family to rid her of a "demon" rather than get her any real medical help.

There is no basis for their mumbo jumbo beliefs and the family come across as loving people, but also a bunch of bloody savages.

This movie is depressing with no real redeeming features. One to avoid!

What an extraordinary documentary, what a complicated situation, how belief and faith can at the same time emanate so much strength and so much pain, love and hate, life and death, I was able to feel very sorry for this family, it seemed impossible, unlikely, but they killed for love to think that they were saving the, so much so that the sentence of the condemned family was social services, revolting what the church and certain sects can cause...

First of all its super slow. This movie deserves no more than 45-50 mins of your time. The plot itself is interesting. But we get zero understanding from psychological point of view wth was going on with the girl and how the whole family can turn into psychos. It almost felt like they were trying to justify a gruesome murder. Waste of time.

The movie depicted a storyline that was nowhere near what happened. It's sad that the director went against the whanau's wishes to not exploit the life of Janet Moses. They went off of stories and he said she said instead of full factual evidence. I'm appalled in the least that this was even created. If you want a thriller that states it's based on a true story when in actuality it's not true at all, then by all means watch it. But personally after watching that I would rather eat my own foot.
