OrangeReviewStarNevill's (The Ritual) latest horror masterpiece follows two guerilla documentary filmmakers in their quest to create a groundbreaking piece of cinema. The Temple of the Last Days cult will forever live in infamy. Led by the disturbed and powerful Sister Katherine, the cult flourished in Europe and the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1975 Sister Katherine was found decapitated among the bodies of her followers in a heinous mass suicide. But is Sister Katherine really gone from this earth? Kyle and Dan are determined to expose the cult's cabalistic side on film, but as they talk to those involved in the case and their documentary footage unfolds, the filmmakers encounter supernatural phenomena that endanger their lives.
VERDICT This exceptional macabre tale stuns in its ability to inspire abject, primal terror. Readers will lose all hope of undisturbed, peaceful sleep. Highly recommended.
