I found this movie to be pretty intense in its subject matter (a suicidal cult) with a bit of a "twist". Well acted, well directed, decently written. I like the occasional "gritty" look of these Raw Feed films and this is no exception. I found the ending pretty creepy, but can't say I didn't see it coming a mile away. worth a view!

As one of the co-directors of The Blair Witch Project Daniel Myrick has been involved in one of the most influential films of the last decades. He joined a direct to dvd company called Raw Feed and has made one film for them so far. Raw Feed made Rest Stop, Otis & Alien Raiders.
Believers is an interesting film that deals with can best be described as a scientific cult. Two paramedics respond to a call at a remote gas station and become prisoners of a cult that believes the world ends soon. A creepy slow building movie that does an effective job of creating a sense of dread. The fact that cult's similar to this one really do exist creeps me out.

"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."

"A couple of Paramedics get called onto a scene by a little girl to help her mother that has gone into a cardiac arrest. Only they are interrupted by a group of whacko's who refuse to let them treat her, the whacko's then kidnap them, and take them to there cult hide away where they meet a man who calls himself "The Teacher" who dribbles on about them all going to be taken to a new world on the other side of the universe because the end of the world is coming.
The acting and story are pretty good, but why I rate this movie low is because of the unsatisfying ending of the whole thing. There was a lot left unexplained and why go for a realistic approach just to blow the end end of the movie with such fictional bulldust?
However, least this time the films maker didn't try to con you into believing the story was true just to sell a low budget movie, least he had a budget for this one to hire an entire film crew to make a proper movie..... it just needed a much better ending imo."
Gooooood Movie!!

"I really liked this movie. Every time a group like this pops up, in the back of my mind I always have a nagging question. "What if they're right?" This movie sort of approaches the movie from that standpoint. It's rather unique... I guarantee you, you have never seen anything like this... It's a must see!!"

"Having picked up this movie in a bargain bin, the thing that sold me on the movie was it was made by one of the people who did The Blair Witch Project. Getting it home, I popped it in my DVD player and began watching the movie. I expected the worst. Lo and behold, it turned out to be a pretty dadgummed good movie(especially one that was released straight-to-DVD). See, the movie is about two paramedics that answer a call from a young girl whose mother has lost consciousness in a deserted area. They soon find out answering that call was a big mistake. Kidnapped and locked in an isolated building by a doomsday cult, one of the paramedics tries to discover the truth behind a secret cult and their beliefs. Therein, the other paramedic's beliefs are challenged and the line between religion and scientific thinking are crossed. Both must find a way to escape, but only one does. The Believers explores the manipulative measures some cults use to take advantage of those who are lost. What surprised me was the ending. I really wasn't expecting it, honestly. Do I recommend it? Most definitely. It's the best Straight-to-DVD movie I've seen in quite sometime. I'll admit, it's a strange film but one that kept my attention til the very end.
