Description: While on duty, David Vaughn (Messner) and Victor Hernandez (Huertas), two emergency paramedics receive a call from a young girl whose mother has lost consciousness in a deserted area, but they soon discover that the life they have to save may be their own. Kidnapped and locked in an isolated building, David tries to discover the truth behind a secret cult and their beliefs. As Victor's beliefs are challenged and the fine-line between religion and science are crossed, David must find a way to escape and get out, before "they" get him. In a society where beliefs in religion and beliefs in science are constantly challenged, Believers explores the manipulative measures some use to take advantage of lost souls.
Believers Awful, just awful. I found myself to be incredibly bored by this movie. The pacing was horrible, the acting very wooden, and the storyline so incredibly predictable it was ridiculous. I do not understand how this could be called "Unrated" either, as there was hardly any blood, very little swearing, and one incredibly boring and pointless sex scene. It had a lot of potential, but fell flat on its face, I can not recommend this movie really at all. It was bad, and while not entirely unwatchable, this snorefest nearly put me to sleep. Oh, and you will be able to figure out the ending before you even see the movie, pretty sad.
Decent acting, great storyline and brilliant ending! Whilst browsing through the video store, deciding what to choose as my new release movie for the night I took a gamble and picked this film just for the sake of it and now I have no regrets. I thought the film missed a few things but it kept me in enough suspense to keep me watching and I was very satisfied with the ending. You won't be disappointed with this one people...give it a try.
Not as good as the Blair Witch Project When I first started watching this movie I got bored. Did that three times. It wasn't until my fourth try that I made it all the way through the movie. Once I got past the beginning it turned out to be a respectable movie. I thought the acting was kind of bad in the beginning. I have to admit that it had a cool ending in my opinion.
A Bizarre Film About a Sinister Cult. _Believers_ (2007) is an exceedingly strange film directed by Daniel Myrick which focuses on a bizarre organization which some believe may be a cult referred to as the Quanta Group. The film opens with a member of this group speaking for his organization and attempting to rebut claims that this group is a cult. This individual claims that the Quanta Group is based on "science and not blind faith" and that "the Teacher" holds the key to the mysteries of the universe. The film then focuses on two paramedics who are sent to investigate the mother of a young girl who is unconscious. While attempting to aid this woman, the paramedics are taken hostage by this cult. Subsequently they are interrogated and told that they must wait for the Teacher. The Teacher has an uncanny ability to understand the thoughts and mind of both of the paramedics and knows information about them which they believe he could not possibly know. Ultimately the movie features a conflict between belief in the cult and the commonplace beliefs of those in the outside world. Surprisingly, the movie ends disturbingly with a cult suicide; however, the predictions of the Teacher may turn out to be more accurate than at first believed.
In the film, the Quanta Group is portrayed as a cult similar to the Heaven's Gate believers who committed mass suicide with the coming of the comet Hale-Bopp. It remains to be determined exactly what the Quanta Group really is and whether or not they are indeed a cult as suggested by the movie. Apparently they claim to be a group of elite scientists who have unraveled the mysteries of the universe. The movie is certainly worth watching, both as a simple horror film but also to understand this particular group.
Loved It I started watching Believers fully expecting to see some bad acting, and a worse story. Call me jaded, but I have seen one too many no-name films in the past 2 years.
Wow, was I pleasantly surprised. Believers was top notch.
Great acting. A fresh, believable and well put together story. I was immersed, and would watch it again. Check this one out.
