Manny The Movie Guy /

I love this movie! Elizabeth Olsen is poised to receive various acting nominations for her role as Martha. But the entire cast is great, including Oscar-nominee John Hawkes as the cult leader, Patrick. Sarah Paulson is also fantastic as Martha’s sister, Lucy. Watch this film!

In this interview, I talked to Paulson about:

• Her initial reaction upon reading the script by writer/director Sean Durkin
• The psychological angle of the film
• How did she and Elizabeth flesh out their sisters characters?
• Working with Elizabeth Olsen
• Her working relationship with John Hawkes
• The greatest takeaway for viewers

HAVE FUN!

Here's more info on the movie from Yahoo:

Martha is a young woman rapidly unraveling amidst her attempt to reclaim a normal life after fleeing from a cult and its charismatic leader. Seeking help from her estranged older sister Lucy and brother-in-law, Martha is unable and unwilling to reveal the truth about her disappearance. When her memories trigger a chilling paranoia that her former cult could still be pursuing her, the line between Martha's reality and delusion begins to blur.
