Cult Girls

Cult Girls was very very different, from any film I have seen. It had many beautiful locations, & scenery's, showing different parts of the world. I had so many favorite locations I absolutely fell in love with. The special effects, aerial shots and cinemaphotography was incredible. It was very dark, bold and strong but it also comes across very beautiful and majestic in its own way. The soundtrack and music was very spiritual and fit the film perfect, it almost felt and sounded like, something you would hear in a Vikings or Warrior film. I felt very connected to it all, the directing, casting, acting, music, makeup, hair and wardrobe department , and every other cast and crew involved have done an incredible job. Everyone worked extremely hard on this production. It was an absolute honor and pleasure to be able to be part of this film, the director and casting director have both done a brilliant job, and I couldn't be more proud. My experience being on set and working with everyone will be forever memorable. Huge congratulations to all involved and the movie release as well as receiving the recent awards, well deserved!

What a great joy it was to watch this film. The director Mark Bakaitas has a great visual style and it shows wondefully well in this film. Fantastic mesmerising performance by Jane Badler. All the main performances were also great. A great indy Aussie film.

Pros: Nice scenery and aerial shots, the chants sound great, few locations are recognisable, nudity, costume design and theme. Cons: It's a mess. You could cut it up into 20 minute sections and rearrange them in any order to produce a similar outcome. It's impossible to spoil this movie because I'm not sure what happened. Something about sisters in a cult I think.

For those after more of an indie feel and less Hollywood in your horror flick then this film is for you. So refreshing to see such a well crafted folk horror out of Australia! 9/10.

The music is so loud and overbearing -- prominently by chants -- that, without a subtitles option (of which there isn't one) it makes it extremely difficult to hear what the characters are actually saying (the monk (?) just sounds as though he's mumbling ... and the other characters / actors, you can't tell what they're saying at all. I turned the film off barely five minutes in due to this issue.

The key "inconsistency" is also that the opening statement claims that the events tak place in "Europe in the 13th century ... the last place to be Christianisized" (not even a real word): but takes place in "Terra Australis" (ok ...), and where -- for the 13th century -- obviously white people (of which there weren't any) had electronic lamps and school halls ...There is no contradiction to this supposition, and the film never states differences / otherwise.

Honestly: don't watch this (ahem) "horror"
