Description:
They know who you are. They know where to find you. And if you get in their way, there's nothing between heaven and earth that can save you. Martin Sheen ("The West Wing"), Helen Shaver (The Craft) and Jimmy Smits (Star Wars: Episode II) star in this "horrifying" (LA Herald-Examiner) occult thriller. Police psychiatrist Cal Jamison (Sheen) is plunged into a demonic nightmare when he finds detective Tom Lopez (Smits) next to the body of a ritually sacrificed child. Though Lopez is branded the prime suspect in a string of similar murders, Cal is not convinced of his guilt and begins a search for the truth. Soon Cal's investigation makes him a believer in the supernaturaland the target of a terrifying conspiracy.

John Schlesinger's The Believers, a kind of voodoo twist on Rosemary's Baby, is a horror movie where the echoes of otherworldly menace set the tone of terror, but the real evil comes from the hearts of humans. Recently widowed psychologist Martin Sheen moves to New York with his emotionally fragile son, and they become entwined in an underground cult that practices ritual sacrifice of children. Schlesinger is more interested in the human tale of loss and healing and the desperation of a grieving father fighting to protect his only child from a barbarous cabal. He favors mood and menace over spectacular splashes of horror, and even those moments of occult attack are directed with a sly sense of ambiguity. Though overlong and short on moments of genuine terror, this is a rare horror movie grounded in the palpable and powerful emotions of its characters. --Sean Axmaker

Martin Sheen (The Dead Zone) plays Cal Jamison, a psychologist who gets mixed up w/ a cult that practices human sacrifice (on kids no less). It seems that this underground group of hoodoo fanatics is responsible for a recent pair of child mutilations. Dr. Jamison, who has already lost his wife in a bizarre kitchen "accident", must now fight to keep his only son from the clutches of this mob of murderous, religious crazies! He is helped by a tough, cynical cop (Robert Logia from Independence Day and ... Read More

The cast and crew work over time to sell this modern day voodoo tale, and for a few moments here and there they sell it very well,but the religion is mixed up and the horror is very thin when it all ends.
After the very graphic death of his wife(in front of his child no less) Martin Sheen moves to NY and our story of child sacrifice and voodoo rites begins. While the cast is good Jimmy Smites and Robert Loggia as a cops stand out in small but very nicely written roles. I know many people ... Read More

Martin Sheen portrays a recent widower who unwittingly has been akin to a cult who are only interested in monetary gain and power believed to be derived from the sacrifice of a child. Disturbing visuals and great story telling. You hope that he can defeat the cult and free his son and with a surprise ending you will never see coming. Enjoy.

Psychiatrist Carl Jameson {Martin Sheen} returns from his morning jog through the streets of an idyllic New York suburb to find deadly trajedy on that brisk dawn, while washing off in the shower, his wife is electrocuted by the coffee machine conducted by spilled milk at her feet. Hypothetically, all he would have had to do to save her life was to use a wooden broomhandle or an otherwise wooden tool to jar her from the current, and all would have been well. Instead, he and his son just scream as she ... Read More

The Believers is a good one because they make it so, well, believable. Sheen loses his wife in a tragic and frightening appliance accident (yes, I know how that sounds) and the movie takes off from there. Jimmy Smits is excellent in a small, but pivotal role and Loggia is great as always. Some good paranioa, gross-out, and chills keep this one going. Highly recommended.
