wazzup, cultists?.
today i am very pleased to suggest for your viewing pleasure the film the endless, by the directoral team of moorhead & benson.. .
a synopsis?
@Nathan Natas
You might find those on netflix perhaps.
More recommendations are "Split" 2016 american horror, director M. Night Shayamalan;
"Birdbox" 2018 American post apocalyptic horror thriller; director Susanne Bier.
"The skeleton Key" 2005, director Iain Softley, is definitely a suspense,supernatural thriller. I enjoyed it very much.
(Some one mentioned "the shining" and I found it boring,so left it halfway.)

@Nathan Natas,
Sorry that I did not do any summary of the movies.Personally I feel it is like a spoiler alert.
Let me know how you get on with the recommendations.

a study of religious retention rates–that is, what percentage of people raised in a particular church or religion stay with it when they are grown–is quite interesting.

horror is easily my favourite genre of movie so i just thought i'd start a thread on it.. horror can be done badly and there are plenty of crap horror movies, no doubt about that.
but horror can also be done very well, too - often on a low budget.. plus, there are quite a lot of subgenres - slasher, supernatural, monster movies, body horror, psychological horror, zombie, vampire, etc.. so, do you like horror?.
what's your favourite subgenre?.
Get out is actually very good.

Jehovah's Witnesses child abuse scandal: "Only the tip of the iceberg"
Pascal Mertens, an activist against child sex abuse among Jehovah's Witnesses, claims that the number of complaints in the public domain are only the tip of the iceberg. Earlier this week VRT's Pano programme probed the extent of child abuse among Jehovah's Witnesses.

Jehovah's Witnesses' scandal: state intelligence to home in on sects
thu 28 mar 10:29
Pascal Mertens helped to set up "Reclaimed Lives", a helpline for Jehovah's Witnesses experiencing child sex abuse. He says that he is confronted with stories of child abuse on a daily basis: "It's always the same story. Victims are chucked out of the community. The organisation never refers cases on to the justice department”.
The number of victims is unclear. There is talk of three reports in Belgium, while in the Netherlands 300 reports have been made. With 25,000 Jehovah's Witnesses in Belgium, compared to 29,000 in the Netherlands, the two communities are of a comparable size. Pascal Mertens hopes the scale of abuse in Belgium isn't as high as in the Netherlands, but fears it is.
In Pano several former Jehovah's Witnesses spoke out about child sex abuse that was swept under the carpet by the organisation. The Jehovah's Witnesses, labelled a sect by some, operate their own law system. Child sex abuse suspects are brought before a judicial committee. It's alleged that the names of perpetrators are kept in a blue envelope at Jehovah's Witnesses HQ in Kraainem, but it's thought the information isn't always handed on to the judiciary. Federal prosecutors are now heading an investigation, while parliament last week established a special committee.
Pascal Mertens has called on the Jehovah's Witnesses to break the silence and take matters to the justice department.
