20 Chilling Movies About Cults For True Crime Aficionados

This film is known for depicting pagan rites and its representation of life on a remote, Scottish island.

Sergeant Howie, played by Edward Woodward, is a devout Christian and extremely surprised when he finds the islanders paying homage to their Celtic god ancestors. They engage in cult-like behaviors and celebrations, all in an attempt to thwart his investigation of the missing girl. A remake of this film featuring Nicholas Cage was released in 2006, but nothing beats the original.
