Overview

Two journalists set out to document their friend’s journey to reunite with his estranged sister. They track her to an undisclosed location where they are welcomed into the remote world of “Eden Parish,” a self-sustained rural utopia composed of nearly two hundred members and overseen by a mysterious leader known only as “Father.” It quickly becomes evident to the newcomers that this paradise may not be as it seems. Eden Parish harbors a twisted secret. What started as just another documentary shoot soon becomes a fight for survival.

Viewing Notes

A rewatch for Gavin and I because he wanted to see it again. I think this may have been creepier the second time around, though I still enjoyed seeing it in a theater during Stanley Film Festival more. Gene Jones and Amy Seimetz really make the movie with their incredibly chilling and believable portrayals of religious fanatics.
