The film premiered on January 25, 2016 at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival and saw a limited theatrical release in May 2016. It was picked up for broadcast by CNN and aired on September 1, 2016. It was selected for competition at the Sundance Film Festival. BackgroundWhen Will Allen, then 22, was forced to leave home in 1985 after his mother learned he was gay, his sister invited him to join a local alternative community and meditation group in West Hollywood, California she had been attending for nine months.[9][10] The group, led by Michel Rostand, eventually grew to one hundred members and began calling itself Buddhafield.[9] A film school graduate, Allen became Michel's documentarian[10][11] and, as it is often described, propaganda minister.[2][3][12] The group relocated to Austin, Texas in 1992[9][13] and then to Oahu, Hawaii.[14] Allen left the group in 2007, after 22 years. In 2016, eighty-five to over 100 followers remained with Michel in Hawaii.[14][15] ProductionAfter leaving the group in 2007, Allen suffered a crisis and felt directionless. He attended the Sundance Film Festival, where he viewed films including Keep the Lights On. He felt he found a new community, and "thankful to see someone take their own life and put it up on-screen," he sought to do the same with his experiences in Buddhafield. He created Holy Hell over four years.[9] Allen left much of his footage with the group and had only 35 hours of edited footage of Buddhafield.[9] He used this footage to create the documentary.[9][16] Cinematographer Polly Morgan shot new footage of Michel and his followers in Hawaii by hiding in bushes, which she described as the greatest challenge in shooting the documentary. For this, she preferred small, inexpensive, and lightweight cameras that would be non-obstructive during filming, and she noted she used a 70-200mm zoom lens for long lens photography while hiding in the bushes.[17] The production also filmed new interviews with former members of the cult.[16] ReleaseHoly Hell premiered at the Temple Theatre on January 25, 2016 during the Sundance Film Festival.[18][19] The film later saw limited theatrical release on May 27, 2016.[20] It was picked up for broadcast by CNN and aired on September 1, 2016.[11]Critical receptionThe film was selected for competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival and 2016 Nashville Film Festival.[19][21] Music used in the documentaryThe documentary features two popular songs: a cover of "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede and "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol. "Hooked on a Feeling" plays at the beginning as footage is shown of members of the cult outdoors reaching for the sun in a euphoric and trance-like state as the song's refrain "I'm hooked on a feeling, I'm high on believing" plays on. "Chasing Cars" plays on toward the end of the documentary as ex-members of the cult are seen dancing in a field and while crying.[22][23] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2016/05/26/479635824/cult-survivor-documents-2-decades-inside-holy-hell|title=Cult Survivor Documents 2 Decades Inside 'Holy Hell'|publisher=}} 2. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2016/film/reviews/holy-hell-review-cult-sundance-1201784316/|title=Film Review: ‘Holy Hell’|last=Debruge|first=Peter|date=May 27, 2016|website=|publisher=Variety|access-date=August 16, 2016}} 3. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=http://www.avclub.com/review/holy-hell-cult-survivor-shares-22-years-footage-in-237299|title=With Holy Hell, a cult survivor shares 22 years of footage from the inside|last=Dowd|first=A.
