But for those under fifty, The Sacrament (2014) is a stark, important look at the dark themes and terrifying social psychology of a cult. It explores exactly what happens when an evil man, corrupted by his own power and wrapped in a cloak of religious ideology, holds absolute sway over vulnerable, at-risk people.
