Heavenly Deception [1983]

[Cross-posted on the Bad Movie Night Facebook page.]

Again, we have to put off "Dolemite" for another week because Erik wasn't there again. Although it is worth noting that Adam now has a box set of all of Rudy Ray Moore's film including past bad movie night watches, "Disco Godfather" and "Petey Wheatstraw." Either way, tonight we turned to Occult Demon Cassette. We decided to watch something called "The Cults," which turned out to be something of a combination between a news report from the Waco Texas incident and a dramatization of one man's experience falling into the Moonies cult.

Overall, it was a kind of interesting film but not especially funny in its own right. We got a solid laugh out of, "It's not deception. It's heavenly deception!" and there were a few chuckles out of the comically evil leader who recruits the main character, but otherwise it wasn't really worth your time. We were hoping for more of a Satanic panic sort of thing, but this film didn't have nearly enough misguided fear mongering.
