Guyana: Cult of the Damned (1979)

R (US) | Mexico, Spain, Panama | English, Spanish | 107 min
Directed by: René Cardona Jr.
5.5

This horrific dramatization of the Guyana tragedy traces the steps of Reverend Jim Jones, a highly charismatic, but profoundly paranoid clergyman, who after years of evangelism and good deeds, begins his own church in the mid-western United States. When Jim Jones becomes increasingly obsessed with the belief that the CIA is "a wicked enemy" who is out to get him, he emigrates with his congregation to Guyana, where he plans to create a utopia. But Jim Jones' utopia consists of a society where he demands his followers turn their minds, bodies and possessions over to him, one that is rife with orgies, physical violence, mental torture, and sexual abuse of children and adults. Ultimately, Jim Jones' paranoia reaches a fevered pitch that culminates in him taking savage action against his own congregation.

UPDATE 7/8/2018: It's been a while since I checked on this list, and I'm happy to see that a lot of the movies that had been removed from Letterboxd have been brought back. A couple of them I had to put back on the list, since I had updated it between when they were removed from Letterboxd and when they were reinstated. As it is now, only 2 movies that were initially on the list have been removed, and considering that there's over 3000 movies on the list, I'd say that's not bad. I went ahead and removed all of…
