0, actually. Should fix that.

The Departed?

This might not be the place for discussion, but what did you like about The Sacrament Repo'd? Spoilers ahead...

I was on board with it at first, it's definitely a competently made film. But the more blatant they got with the Jim Jones / Jonestown shit it just felt lazy and exploitative. There's definitely a way to make an effective horror flick about real events, but for the big twist to be "surprise! This tragedy really happened, we just added Vice reporters and pretended it was a fictional story!" is not the way to go about it.

I generally enjoy Ti West's other work, but this really rubbed me the wrong way. To each their own though, curious to hear your thoughts.
