Description: A religious sect called the Brethren has taken control of widow Birdy Wemys, sending her unstable son, Kenny, into a spiraling descent into madness. No woman is safe when Kenny’s religious mania overpowers him and leads to murder and chaos.

This film is one of the best to trade on the hysteria and insanity of a religious cult that I’ve seen. From the cheesy opening which has scenes of a woman singing a hymn to the lord inter cut with a woman being stalked by a murderer, you know you’re in for one hell of a ride.

This is a low budget British production which concentrates on characters and their relationships which make it a stronger film than it might otherwise have been had a higher budget been available.
