Una di noi

I like to watch horror flicks after a long day and since I sleep in Saturdays and had someone gullible writing my reports for me, I stayed up late checking out ONE OF US. Pretty good stuff. Plenty of terror without needing blood and gore. I liked it so much I nearly forgot I spilled beer on my new jacket earlier that day while driving. Two things I hate, bad movies and manure, and this movie ain't either of em.

I am a big fan of hippie-commune-cult horror movies. Now, this one didn't quite move me as much as Midsommar did, but it was deliciously engaging. Who wouldn't want to join a cult led by that fine man, Brent? Damn, I know I'd be in. This movie was good.

Now when i say "cult movie", i mean a literal cult movie, that is, a movie about cults. i found the depiction of the cult leader and his subjects to be very realistic and educational. i've had some experience deprogramming some of these type of people and let me tell you this movie gets the facts right. The leader does not come across as some raving lunatic, but rather as a friendly father figure or surrogate. Very well made movie with some great performances, particularly from the cult leader and the young women playing the cult members that have been indoctrinated.

This was a nice surprise for a late night TV fright flick. While One of Us is clearly a psychological horror movie at heart, it's not dedicated to making the cheesiest, campiest, kill-fest imaginable. In fact, it seems to be trying to do something different. Speaking of camp, the director really seemed to take pride in capturing the atmosphere of the idyllic mountain setting. I'm not sure of the techniques, but the outdoor naturally lit shots were gorgeous. They had me kind of convinced, or at least intrigued, by the promise of a retreat away from the stresses of modern society…and the psychology that might drive someone to let a charismatic creeper take the wheel. Of course creepy cults can't last, and these women in the woods have to fight to stay alive, and while this film might not please the slasher film purists, it offers a bit of a stylish spin on the late night psycho creep show.

This movie is bad on many levels

The only positive reviews are people who reviewed only this movie with recently made accounts 😂😂 so obvious.

Bad acting and bad script

A so-called leader with the charisma of a washcloth.

Women named Venus and Luna

Female cast chosen for looking like pr0n actresses

Perhaps next time focus on choosing actors with talent rather than T+A or just make pr0n

The cult leader 🙄 people wouldn't accept a flyer for a pizza restaurant from him let alone change their name and give up their life

Avoid
