This movie is essentially a plotless version of the village with 90 percent of the movie showing the teen kids being tortured and abused.

I thought that the Village was average at best, but it is Citizen Kane compared to this mess.

There is never an explanation of their beliefs and history. When the father comes out and brings in a random girl halfway through the movie to add to the family, we have no idea of where she came from. It is also clear that the family is not related by blood. We get no explanation of this either. At least in the village, there is an explanation of why the adults have chosen the lifestyle. All of the characters are very one dimensional and there are no real twists except for the one at the end which is given away by the summary paragraph of the movie on Amazon Prime video.

This had potential to be a decent movie if any effort was put into it, but instead we are supposed to blindly follow the movie without any revelation in the same way that the kids are blindly following the parents without any purpose. I would recommend skipping this one.

It felt very much like watching the village, just a more down graded version. Still enjoyable. Several plot holes...how did we get the mix of childern we have, also based of the apperance/age of some characters I am not sure the childern would have been bilogical at all. Still I felt like there were some enjoyable moments. It also seemed a little culty...which in these times seem a little less than predictable. And the overt punish thru religious guidance always feels over played and creates to much contraversy for many people to enjoy. I am glad there wasn't the plot of familial insest which is also over played to often in these types of movies.
