It stars Emma Greenwell as a woman who goes in search of her missing sister, who has joined an isolated religious group. PlotAfter her sister Liz goes missing, Charlotte recruits Wayne, an ex-Marine, to help her locate Liz. Their search ends at a Pentecostal church headed by the charismatic Brother Billy. As Wayne becomes attracted to the church, details emerge that Liz may have been held against her will. Cast
ProductionHoly Ghost People was meant to be an even-handed portrayal of Pentecostal Christians, and the film was written to explore both the positive and negative aspects of faith. The documentary Holy Ghost People served as partial inspiration. The film was shot in Tennessee at Camp Nakanawa after the filmmakers scouted locations in several other states.[2] In an interview, Altieri said he wanted to "get back to [his] roots and tell a gritty American tale." Real snakes were used.[3] Egender prepared for his role by watching videos of snake-handlers, whom he described as "charming and funny and charismatic. They are performers."[4]ReleaseHoly Ghost People premiered at the 2013 SXSW, where it was picked up for distribution by XLrator.[5] XLrator released it on video-on-demand on February 18, 2014, and it had a limited theatrical release three days later.[6] For the theatrical release, the film was revised to address concerns raised in the festival screenings, such as excessive narration.[7] The film is set for a Video on demand release on Hulu on 15 March 2015, as part of XLrator Media series Macabre.[8]ReceptionRotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 43% of seven critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating was 7.5/10.[9] J. Hurtado of Twitch Film wrote, "A film is only as good as its ending, and Holy Ghost People really had me going up until the ludicrous finale that conjures memories of some other great films, just rehashed and with less style."[10] Dennis Harvey of Variety also criticized the "underwhelming payoff", though he said the film is atmospheric and has a "promising buildup".[11] Jim Harrington of the San Jose Mercury News called it "a relentless psychological thriller that features a solid script and even better acting."[12] Heather Wixson of Dread Central rated it 3.5/5 stars and called it "an eerie exploration of power and religion" that is "an often hypnotic and surreal journey".[13] Joshua Starnes of Shock Till You Drop rated it 6/10 stars and wrote, "The production is slick and the film is beautifully shot, but it’s missing that spark to become more."[14] Evan Dickson of Bloody Disgusting rated it 3/5 stars and wrote that the film is "a well shot piece of work with an intriguing premise and several amazing performances", but the ending "teeters dangerously close" to going off the rails.[15] Scott Weinberg of Fearnet called it "easily [Altieri's and Flores'] most complete, cohesive, and compelling thriller yet."[16] Samuel Zimmerman of Fangoria rated it 2/5 stars and criticized the film's narration, which he states wrecks viewers' engagement with its redundancy.[17] Inkoo Kang of the Los Angeles Times wrote the film "boasts great performances and urgent, intimate camera work" but "makes nasty beasts of the very people Adair strived to humanize". Kang concludes, "Long before its feeble, drawn-out ending, it's clear no miracle can cure this film's many frailties."[18]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://twitchfilm.com/2013/02/first-images-from-mitchell-altieris-sxsw-selected-holy-ghost-people.html|title=First Images From Mitchell Altieri's SXSW Selected HOLY GHOST PEOPLE|last=Brown|first=Todd|work=Twitch Film|date=2013-02-20|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/65230/exclusive-interview-mitchell-altieri-and-phil-flores-discuss-holy-ghost-people-raised-wol|title=Exclusive Interview: Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores Discuss Holy Ghost People, Raised by Wolves and More|last=Wixson|first=Heather|work=Dread Central|date=2013-04-02|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.indiewire.com/article/meet-the-2013-sxsw-filmmakers-35|title=Meet the 2013 SXSW Filmmakers #35: Mitchell Altieri Directs a Congregation of Outcasts in American Gothic 'Holy Ghost People'|work=Indiewire|date=2013-03-06|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://lefthandhorror.com/2014/02/25/fister-interview-joe-egender-talks-holy-ghost-people-and-snake-handling/|title=Fister Interview: Joe Egender Talks 'Holy Ghost People' and Snake Handling|last=Reynolds|first=Nate|work=LeftHandHorror.com|date=2014-02-25|accessdate=2014-06-06}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.indiewire.com/article/holy-ghost-people-acquired-by-xlrator-media-following-sxsw-premiere|title='Holy Ghost People' Acquired by XLrator Media Following SXSW Premiere|last=Gonzalez|first=Cristina A.|work=Indiewire|date=2013-04-04|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/74151/holy-ghost-people-are-preaching-their-maniacal-gospel-image-gallery|title=The Holy Ghost People Are Preaching Their Maniacal Gospel in This Image Gallery|last=Barton|first=Steve|work=Dread Central|date=2014-02-21|accessdate=2014-03-01}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/holy-ghost-people-film-review-681098|title=Holy Ghost People: Film Review|last=DeFore|first=John|work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=2014-02-18|accessdate=2014-06-06}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/92703/xlrator-media-gets-macabre-on-hulu/|title=XLrator Media Gets Macabre on Hulu|last=|first=|work=Dread Central|date=2014-02-18|accessdate=2014-06-06}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/holy_ghost_people_2014/|title=Holy Ghost People (2014)|work=Rotten Tomatoes|accessdate=January 4, 2019}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://twitchfilm.com/2013/03/sxsw-2013-review-holy-ghost-people.html|title=SXSW 2013 Review: HOLY GHOST PEOPLE Sadly Slips From Scary To Silly|last=Hurtado|first=J.|work=Twitch Film|date=2013-03-22|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2013/film/reviews/film-review-holy-ghost-people-1200954173/|title=Film Review: 'Holy Ghost People'|last=Harvey|first=Dennis|work=Variety|date=2013-12-13|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 12. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_22814426/sxsw-film-2013-holy-ghost-people-is-intense|title=SXSW Film 2013: 'Holy Ghost People' is intense thriller|last=Harrington|first=Jim|work=San Jose Mercury News|date=2013-03-18|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/holy-ghost-people-2013|title=Holy Ghost People (2013)|last=Wixson|first=Heather|work=Dread Central|date=2013-03-19|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/reviews/172835-sxsw-review-holy-ghost-people/|title=SXSW Review: Holy Ghost People|last=Starnes|first=Joshua|work=Shock Till You Drop|date=2013-03-11|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=http://bloody-disgusting.com/reviews/3223475/bd-review-holy-ghost-people-prays-for-heaven-but-ends-up-on-earth/|title=[BD Review] 'Holy Ghost People' Prays For Heaven But Ends Up On Earth|last=Dickson|first=Evan|work=Bloody Disgusting|date=2013-03-14|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 16. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.fearnet.com/news/review/fearnet-movie-review-holy-ghost-people|title=FEARnet Movie Review: 'Holy Ghost People'|last=Weinberg|first=Scott|work=Fearnet|date=2013-03-11|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 17. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.fangoria.com/new/holy-ghost-people-sxsw-movie-review/|title="HOLY GHOST PEOPLE" (SXSW Movie Review)|last=Zimmerman|first=Samuel|work=Fangoria|date=2013-03-12|accessdate=2014-01-06}} 18. ^{{cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2014/feb/20/entertainment/la-et-mn-holy-ghost-people-review-20140221|title=Review: No miracle can save 'Holy Ghost People'|last=Kang|first=Inkoo|work=Los Angeles Times|date=2014-02-20|accessdate=2014-06-06}} External links
