What they share

Theysit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to V/H/S/85, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Believers is

Manhattan. Summer. Distant sirens. Widowed psychologist Cal Jamison relocates with his son, only to find himself consulting on occult-tinged killings. The trail leads toward dark money and darker magic. Schlesinger’s late-period foray into occult thriller is worth a look.
