shawnblackman A woman seeks the help of an alcoholic veteran to help find her sister who joined a cult in some remote area. They drive there and find out she's gone. The group passes around venomous snakes with the notion that God will protect them against bites. They join the cult to find out what happened to her sister and find leaving isn't so easy.This wasn't too bad even though we have seen this premise done a few times. The leader of the cult is played by Joe Egender who I think is a spitting image of Giovanni Ribisi. They didn't get into too many back stories or much character development but you do get the idea that they're all brain washed.You do hear in the news now and then about someone from these snake religions getting fatally bit.

archynoob If you were looking for a movie about the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit, than this is not it. The message they proclaim is not scriptural. It's funny that a few days ago someone mentioned that there are/is an actual place where things like this take place and then I accidentally stumbled onto this movie... *Spoiler* You can see a woman's breast in the opening scene of this movie.I stopped watching when a guy started getting whipped for his sins in front of a congregation.It felt like something was off when they got to the mountain community even though they have Bible verses painted on things all over the place. This is not a movie about salvation based solely on accepting Jesus as the Son of God and repenting of your sins. Just a warning for those of you who are looking for that kind of a movie. Look up David A.R. White

Andrew Wakely A tough film to review without spoiling, Holy Ghost People is a about a young woman, Charlotte, and her search for her missing drug- addict sister. Tracking her down to a secluded religious community in the Appalachian mountains, Charlotte enlists the help of an alcoholic ex-marine to infiltrate the "Church of One Accord," run by Brother Billy, a charismatic snake handler.At times melodramatic and perhaps plodding. But while not especially fast-paced, this mystery/thriller is nonetheless interesting, well-acted, and edgy, as well as raising some intriguing questions about the potential power of faith—- for good or ill.

John Orosz Redemption comes to those who seek and others without them even knowing it.One review on here says you are best knowing less about the movie but that really is true for any good thriller, drama and suspenseful movie. Within the title you are already wondering just what your in for let alone what the subject matter might encompass.To tell you why you may want to see this all I want to ask you is:1. Do you like suspense and surprises? 2. DO you like learning about the characters as the story unfolds? 3. Do you enjoy when the atmosphere is set to the tone of the scene? 4. Do you like southern accents?If you answered yes this movie will be wonderful. Taking place in the southern US on in a small town you get know some folks who have possibly not had the best in life and need more from it. We were very surprised by the quality of the camera work, the acting is superb and the cast/roles make the atmosphere something you can never really put a finger on and keeps you guessing until the end. This is a gem of movie for for fans of cop dramas, who done it's, southern style scares and country folk.
