Short Review: Cult Affairs (2021) by Nate Thompson


Following a business arrangement gone wrong, Mr. James is brought before the very cult he crossed to figure out a proper solution. It's on the inside, where they realize, the Devil truly lives.

On the whole, this is quite underwhelming and rather troubling. The fact that so much of this one is wasted looking at the image of the guy tied up in the chair unable to move or speak while the other figure is illuminated by a strange light makes this one really confusing. The cryptic dialog involving why he's been captured and brought into the situation is likewise just as confusing as there's no context for what's going on with this strange cult or why he's on their bad side. Most of what's going on is merely inferred here based on the background information given as this one feels more like a piece of a larger story, especially given the length on display. The atmosphere is impressive and imposing though, much like the idea of what's going on at the end but this is still a case where more is really needed here.
