Shaken to my core
20 March 2024
First of all, thank you the director and his whole team, for bring such a powerful documentary movie. I don't know if the director read comments on this website or not. If you know him, please pass my thanks to him.

This movie made me shaken to my core. It deeply touched me. I am a male in later years of my life. Seldom can a movie make me cry. But to my surprise, I broke to tears while watching the episode 3. In fact, I have not cried for several years. This crying just released so many negative energy in me. This is a documentary about a cult and crime, I really didn't expected it so emotional. The episode 1 and 2 are already superb. But the last episodes just lift the whole series to a new level.

I have watched hundreds hours of documentaries on cults in my life. This one is the scariest. When I said it made me shaken to my core, I mean not only it touched my soft spot in my heart by its loving scenes, but also scared me to my core that I was shaking constantly. The evil and canny of Larry Ray is beyond my imagination. I've seen David Koresh, NXIVM, Jim Johns and etc. Larry Ray is much worse. He pushed envelop of how dark a human's heart can be. Unbelievable. Totally unbelievable. Before I watched this movie, I felt pity for myself because all those unlucky events I suffered. After watching this movie, I felt so lucky I didn't met persons like Larry Ray in my life.

My heart goes to Santos' parents. They lost all three kids to this evil man and they still can laugh. How strong they are! If I was them, I would lose hope in life and in humanity.

This documentary series is not perfect. A year ago, I watched it for ten minutes and could not go on because the first episode is really unattractive. It lacks the sensational effect. Also too many interview, too little real footage. However, by chance I watched another documentary movie on Larry Ray case called "Sex. Lies.and.the. College. Cult". It is a standard documentary, straight to the point. It got me hooked. Then I return to this series for more details.

I hope there is a sequel to this, just like THE VOW 2.
