Ti West is a filmmaker whose name you need to know, memorize and seek out voraciously. His last two films behind the camera (he also acted in the horror hit You’re Next) were some of the spookiest in recent memory: The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers, and his latest is no exception. The Sacrament stars Kentucker Audley as a photojournalist who receives an invitation from his sister (Amy Seimetz, Upstream Color) to visit the isolated community of Eden Parish, a town which may or may not populated by a dangerous cult. But a simple plan goes awry when he decides to bring with him two uninvited guests, reporters from Vice magazine, played by A.J. Bowen (You’re Next) and Joe Swanberg (the director of Drinking Buddies).

From acclaimed writer/director Ti West (THE INNKEEPERS, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL) and master of horror Eli Roth (THE LAST EXORCISM, HOSTEL, CABIN FEVER), THE SACRAMENT follows two Vice Media correspondents as they set out to document their friend’s journey to find his missing sister. They travel outside of the United States to an undisclosed location where they are welcomed into the world of “Eden Parish,” a self-sustained rural utopia, comprised of nearly two hundred members. At the center of this small, religious, socialist community is a mysterious leader known only as “Father.” As their friend reunites with his sister, it becomes apparent to the newcomers that this paradise may not be as it seems. What started as just another documentary shoot soon becomes a race to escape with their lives.
THE SACRAMENT stars Joe Swanberg (YOU’RE NEXT), AJ Bowen (THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL), Kentucker Audley (SUN DON’T SHINE), Amy Seimetz (THE KILLING), and Gene Jones (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN). The film is written, directed and edited by Ti West (THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, THE INNKEEPERS) and produced by Eli Roth (THE LAST EXORCISM, HOSTEL, CABIN FEVER), Jacob Jaffke (SLEEPWALK WITH ME), Peter Phok (STAKE LAND), Christopher Woodrow (BLOOD TIES), Molly Conners (KILLER JOE) and Eric Newman (CHILDREN OF MEN).
