It's a fascinating exploration of cult dynamics, drenched in visceral imagery and unapologetic honesty. The film feels more like an underground experience than a polished doc, with a tone that oscillates between confrontational and reflective. You'll get this sense of urgency as it flips through Treleaven's rise and eventual fall, showcasing not just a zine but a whole subculture. Practical effects, combined with archival footage, lend it this unique texture that really resonates.
