Holy Hell (2016)
7/10
It could have been so much more
3 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This documentary had the potential to be so much more. With plenty of archival footage and a very interesting story, the filmmaker should have pushed more on the storytelling. Two main questions remain unanswered.. SPOILER ALERT

What was that God-encountering experience in the forest? The filmmaker makes us feel it was very real. What was that? Had they been secretly drugged, perhaps with magic mushrooms? It seems likely but there is no investigative work by the filmmaker.

Why those who left including the filmmaker did not sue or at least report him to the authorities? He is allegedly still abusing other people. They have a moral obligation to take that to the next level. Instead what they do? They fly all the way there to the Hawaii to confront him, except they end up not confronting him. Totally useless the use of a hidden camera. Put it to good use. Make him to confess something, or at a very minimal call him names.
