5.0 out of 5 starsAdoring fan of this masterpiece!
By Amazon Customer on 24 Feb. 2016
Format: DVD
You cannot go wrong with this one. The acting was formidably done by all actors(tresses) involved. The scenery was well done and I was able to suspend belief and enjoy this highly entertaining film. I live with constant chronic pain, so a movie is a reprieve from the pain if I can immerse myself. This movie achieved this effortlessly.

I suggest you watch and decide for yourself in the end though. 😏 👍

2.0 out of 5 starsTHE BODY IS NOTHING BUT A SHELL
By The Movie Guy on 23 Jan. 2016
Format: DVD
Nothing like an interesting story made uninteresting. Sarah Hope (Lily Rabe) as a child was the sole survivor of a cult suicide from 3/23/1985. Now as an adult she is returning to the secluded ranch (no bars, can't run to get help) with a camera crew who happen to be the larvae of the FBI men who raided the compound. Not to give away too much, but they locate some old film canisters (and 1 VHS) about the cult engaged in soul transmigration.

The individual scenes were done okay, but when placed together it somehow didn't make for a great film. Raspberry Award winner Jessica Alba will be looking to add to that list as Maggie who played a deer in the headlights for most of the feature. Hey! Let's capture that look and put it on the DVD cover! The male lead needed someone other than Thomas Jane whose charisma seemed forced upon us. Brad Pitt would have been too expensive, but Billy Drago, or heck even Billy Zane.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

5.0 out of 5 starsThrilling!!
By Mitchell on 1 Feb. 2016
Format: DVD
One of the greatest horrors I've ever seen. It's full of mystery, jump scares, unexpected turns and the storyline is very deep and detailed. The acting and lighting are very high quality but you have to pay attention to understand everything. Definitely 5/5!!

A real terrible film, I could not stand it after the first half an hour. I think I did well to get that far.

HASH(0x999d1f78) out of 5 stars Dull but could have been creepy 22 Jan. 2016
By Joseph H Smart - Published on Amazon.com
Deadly dull horror film about a documentary crew returning to the site of a Jim Jones style cult massacre from the 1980's looking for missed clues as to what might of really happened. The screenplay by Robert Ben Garant (Reno 911; Night at the Museum) isn't without good ideas but, unfortunately, director Phil Joanu is no better of a director now than he was in the 1990's. Joanu knows how to shoot attractive images and if there was nothing more to filmmaking he would be a master equal to Stanley Kubrick and Marton Scorcese. Unfortunately, he paces his films like a 300 pound jogger with cement blocks attached to his feet instead of jogging shoes. The Veil isn't just slow--it seems to be completely immobile. At times Joanu can almost make Andrei Tarkovsky feel like Michael Bay--the idea that movies are supposed to be motion pictures seems to completely escape him.

It also doesn't help The Veil that Phil Joanu is pretty terrible with actors. He got career worst performances out of Richard Gere and Alec Baldwin (in Final Analysis and Heaven's Prisoner's) and here is stuck with Jessica Alba and Thomas Jane, two actors who really need sure-handed directors to make them even halfway watchable in serious films. Alba seems perpetually on the verge of slipping into a coma, giving a somnambulant performance without a trace of emotion--except for a brief scene where nails are being driven through her skin at which point she kinda/sorta expresses something that could be interpreted as pain, although by that point the viewing audience could probably show her how it's really done. Meanwhile, Thomas Jane comes across more like a third rate Elvis imitator than a charismatic Jim Jones style preacher.

The Veil does have one pretty good third act twist up its sleeve plus a should be creepy ending, suggesting that in more capable hands it might have actually worked--although that's little consolation to someone unfortunate enough to sit through this thing all the way to the end without falling asleep.

By jesse coley - Published on Amazon.com

I am baffled that this one made it to the finish line. By the end of the movie, I had to ask my wife if I had fallen asleep somewhere down the line. It went from a Jim Jones styled cult-suicide at the opening, to a range of mysterious killings when a lone survivor shows back up many years later, to,
a feeble attempt at explaining the opening mass suicide to, gasp, a ???zombie??? flick at the very end.

HASH(0x99d666e4) out of 5 stars Surprisingly Entertaining 7 April 2016
By Heather Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
Verified Purchase
I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. I'm always leery of movies that seem to take inspiration from Jonestown, the entire event was horrific and needs no help from fiction, but this one defiantly took it in a different direction. I enjoyed this much more then the 'Sacrament' which was more of a scene by scene retelling of Jonestown.
