From the vault: proof that cold storage can lead to some hot messes.
Why Cult
Watch as a killer murders his own twin brother—a cop—and takes his place, adding a warped layer of mistaken identity to this psycho-horror.
The killer doesn’t just murder—he stores his victims in the ice house where he works, giving the film a literal and figurative chill.
Sex scenes, nudity, and a psychotronic sensibility blend together for a provocative slice of late-'60s exploitation cinema.
With appearances by genre faces like Jim Davis, Scott Brady, and even uncredited turns from Bambi Allen and John Holmes, expect the unexpected.
