The Veil (2016)
Dir- Phil Joanou
A documentary filmmaker invites the sole survivor of a suicide cult to visit the crime scene twenty-five years later. Once there, the crew discovers lost films showing what happened and encountering supernatural occurrences. The Veil was produced by Jason Blum and directed by Phil Joanou. The film stars Jessica Alba, Lily Rabe, and Thomas Jane as cult leader Jim Jacobs. Mr. Jane's portrayal of Jim Jacobs models Jim Jones's and is the best part of the movie. Although the film involves found footage, it is edited as a straight supernatural thriller. The Veil is a terrifying look at cult behavior, and Thomas Janes's role helps carry the film that otherwise would not stand out among other cult films such as The Sacrament or Faults.
