THE BELIEVERS
THE BELIEVERS in a 1987 thriller, based on the book by Nicholas Conde(actually called THE RELIGION), and the film stars Martin Sheen, Jimmy Smits, Harris Yulin, Helen Shaver and Richard Massur. When I was a kid I saw the trailer to this film and it scared the hell out of me, since that time I only saw pieces of the film, I finally got the courage to finally see it.
My conclusion, it was a great movie. This movie had something that the current movies do not have, great acting, suspense and a plot. Martin Sheen played good as the lead, who takes his son to New York city after a tragic accident with his wife. Martin Sheen gets caught up in a mysterious religion and before he can blink he’s the target of an evil cult. The film has few but some great scares, but the direction(John Schlesen nger) makes this film memorable and credible. All though a bit on the long side this film is good, and it’s so good you guessed it, A REMAKE IS IN THE WORKS.
