The Believers. John Schlesinger, 1987.
😿😿
Edition screened: MGM DVD, released 2002. English language. Runtime approximately 114 minutes.
Summary: Animal mutilation.
Details: I no longer have this VoosploiDootation title to rescreen, but recall a ritualistically murdered and decapitated cat found in a city park near the beginning of the film, and a crucified cat in Haiti around the middle. Of course.
I often like creepy occult intrigues, but was disappointed in this. It seemed like a film version of the creative writing exercise where a famous work is changed, one element at a time, until there is a new work. In this case, thematic elements from Rosemary’s Baby including fascination with a new home, concern for a besieged child, and the exposure of a villainous old couple remained intact while the plot changed around them. l know several old couples who often think the plot is changing around them.
