2019 Directed by Dan Madison Savage, Britt Poulton
A Pentecostal pastor, Lemuel Childs, and his believers handle venomous snakes to prove themselves before God. Lemuel’s daughter, Mara holds a secret that threatens to tear the church apart: her romantic past with a nonbeliever, Augie. As Mara’s wedding to a devoted follower looms, she must decide whether or not to trust the steely matriarch of their community, Hope, with her heart and life at stake.

JESUS CHRIST (literally)
I despise the fact that the first 45 minutes of this is so empty because the second half is near perfect. Such a great build up and perfect pacing. Amazing performances from literally everyone (protect Olivia Colman at all costs) and just some great looking cinematography. This gets a big FUCK YEAH from me.
"For years I was lost with nobody looking for me." -Olivia Colman (Hope), alluding to her Oscar win.

I don't know, snake handlers still seem cooler than Scientologists and at least there's no Christian rock... let's hear these fools out.
In Them That Follow a young snake handler has had sex and oh shit that's a big deal, especially if stuff related to sex ends up happening. Will she be able to keep her secret and when her secret does get revealed, what might happen? This film is okay but is for the most part your basic "Wait for shit to hit the fan" movie that weirds you out with creepy messages about the power of…
I've always wanted to watch a movie about snake handlers starring Kaitlyn Dever, Olivia Colman, and Alice Englert, but this movie was not it.
Slow-burn Appalachian gothic that descends into body horror territory. Almost unbearably intense. Loved it.

Them That Follow is an interesting exploration of what it means to grow up in the hills of Appalachia; except I grew up in the hills of Appalachia and never met anyone like this. I literally lived in a “holler” named “Burning Fork;” so it doesn’t get more hick than that. Now, to be fair, I am only halfway serious because I did hear of one church (in the entirety of eastern Kentucky) that did this. Clearly this movie isn’t intending on being factual, as I am just messing around. I am positive that there used to be more churches like this but it (thankfully) seems like a dying breed. People are starting…
I've said it before I'll say it again, I love films about religion, more specifically religious fanaticism and this was no exception. While it's first half was painfully slow it more than made up for it with an incredibly engaging second and final act.
Alice Englert was excellent giving me heavy Alicia Vikander/Daisy Edgar-Jones vibes and Walton Goggins who I've been a massive fan of ever since his Shield and Justified days was pretty much born to play the role of a fire and brimstone venomous snake handling preacher. The supporting cast featuring Olivia Colman, Kaitlyn Dever (another Justified alumni I love), Lewis Pullman, Thomas Mann and even Jim Gaffigan are all excellent.
It definitely deals with some pretty heavy…
A movie that's so quite and grounded it almost negates the evil that lies beneath the surface. I understand how someone would find this slow or boring, but the explosion of the build up was very worth it, in my opinion. The acting is astounding, obviously Oscar winner Olivia Colman is fantastic. Finally someone uses Walton Goggins to the best of his ability, as a Southern serpent preacher he's basically the best actor on the planet.
i am SO exhausted watching these films purely for my love of Thomas Mann, will someone PLEASE cast him in a lead role where the plot and script are excellent, or am i going to have to learn how to do that myself? stay tuned to find out
Despite some faults in the screenplay, this is a very good thriller led by some great acting & very good direction.
