As much social commentary as romantic comedy, this one deserves a spot on your favourites shelf! He has given us so many memorable roles over the years but this one is my favorite. 0 Comments, Director(s) – Britt Poulton (Lizard King) and Dan Madison Savage (Lizard King) Sometime back I recieved a press release for the dramatic thriller Them That Follow which is centered around a small snake handling church. What no one knows is that Mara is secretly pregnent with Augie’s child and this child out of wedlock will bring tensions to a boil within the church when their ways are questioned in regards to loved ones. His portrayal of a royal preacher is fucking spot on. A spoiler alert is where someone gives away the main plot or turning point in a movie, book, show, etc. This movie is very down to Earth and real which makes me think that whoever wrote this one lived the life.

I knew a lot of southern preachers and he fucking pulled of a spot on performance. However, unknown to everyone, Mara is pregnant by Augie (Thomas Mann) who has abandoned the church. Walter Goggins is fucking phenomenal in the film.

Nov 20, 2019, 2:20 pm Finally, this one is not a body count flick that most of you are begging for. Overall, Them That Follow is not a horror film but, as far as religious thrillers go, packs one hell of a punch. Gerard Butler; Bradley Gallo; Michael A.

Augie is not as devoute as his girlfriend and mother but Mara is dedicated to her faith. With flawed, complex characters that leap straight off the page and into your heart, Spoiler Alert is a love letter to fiction, fandom and fatness. [11], Them That Follow holds 59% approval rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 91 reviews, with a weighted average of 6.02/10.

The website's critics consensus reads, "Them That Follow never quite captures the spiritual fervor of its setting, but the cast's committed performances make for an intermittently satisfying character study. I’ve pretty much been an atheist my entire life so all religions are strange to me but I now find snake handling to be fascinating. Hope realizes that not only is Mara not a virgin, she is pregnant, as well. They are found lying together by Garret who warns Mara to never see Augie again. When I was younger I lived directly beside a church, four doors down from a church, and across the creek from me was a trailer that a family had converted into a church before they moved. The film may seem a little out there to some but as someone that has lived in a community similar to this one I can say that it portrays the people of the region perfectly. Director(s) - Britt Poulton (Lizard King) and Dan Madison Savage (Lizard King) Starring - Alice Englert (Beautiful Creatures, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Dilly then informs Garret who attempts to rape Mara. Mara survives her encounter with the snake, but despite earning her father's approval she decides to leave him to help Augie who is still sick after the amputation. He allows Garret to claim the snakes are his and lose his job to protect his congregation. I knew it was different when compared to other churches but I never realized just how strange it really was until I was an adult and no longer living there. We do get some practical effects and a little blood but no on screen deaths that most of you want. 2. Mara Childs (Alice Englert) is a Pentecostal pastor's daughter raised in a remote community in Appalachia.

I sometimes reference the area I’m from in some of my reviews but a lot of the stuff from my upbringing is left out because it doesn’t fit the film I’m reviewing. They abuse the system and their only real vice outside of drugs and alcohol is their faith. **Spoiler Alert**he film follows a young woman named Mara (Englert) who is in love with Augie (Mann). Something that someone uses to really piss people off. I was very curious about this film and requested a review copy which they were kind enough to send over. Mara’s father Lemuel (Goggins) is a preacher of a small church that practices snake handling and refuse modern medicine. Rating – 3.5/5. It pulls you in and you don’t want to leave. After hearing the news, Mara informs her friend, Dilly (Kaitlyn Dever), that she is pregnant with Augie's child. I mean shhhh! I always try to connect with a film in one way or another so a lot of my reviews feel like blog entries in one way or another. The story for this one really pulled me in which is weird considering what it’s about. [3] In September 2017, Walton Goggins joined the cast of the film. Almost all of these pregnancies caused trouble in the families. It was released on August 2, 2019, by 1091 Media. When I was growing up in McDowell county, West Virginia I was just a small distance away from a snake handling church. Before marriage, Mara's virginity is checked by Hope Slaughter (Olivia Colman), Augie's mother. There was times during the film where his character and acting gave me fucking chills. When I tossed in Them That Follow I didn’t know what to expect but what I found was a very authentic look at growing up in a small Appalachian community overturned by poverty and seclusion.
