In the mountains of Appalachia, among small sects of Pentecostal snake handlers, zealous devotion can be truly deadly. But that’s a risk incurred by two young men competing for the love of the preacher’s daughter, and the protection of a secret that could tear the community apart. With an all-star cast featuring newly crowned Oscar-winner Olivia Colman, Walton Goggins, Jim Gaffigan, and Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart), Them That Follow asks powerful questions about the slippery slope between faith and indoctrination.

 

"Directors Poulton and Savage and cinematographer Brett Jutkiewicz consistently deliver visually arresting shots, while the music by Garth Stevenson helps build the suspense."
- Chicago Sun-Times
 
"A film about fundamental faith and its poisonous nature, Them That Follow is a much-needed change of pace from this loud summer movie season."
- The CriterionCast
 
"An empathetic thriller with standout performances."
- Midwest Film Journal
