The sadness and hopelessness of the story becomes overwhelming.

What's shocking about the film, which is as effective in its way as HBO's Scientology expose, Going Clear is how widespread his ugly cult still is.

Just in time for Halloween, Showtime is unleashing one of the creepiest, most depraved characters you'll ever see on television: Warren Steed Jeffs.

| Oct 8, 2015

Despite going too far in one of its arcs while not going far enough in the other, Prophet's Prey is still an excellent distillation of the FLDS and Jeffs, presenting as much information as possible behind this truly awful story.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 6, 2015

Despite the fragmented nature of Berg's exploration of this mysterious group, it's chilling when providing a comprehensive look at one happens when one twisted man convinces enough people that he speaks for God.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 5, 2015

A powerful, enraging and heartbreaking expos.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 5, 2015

People of religious faith -- LDS Church members in particular -- will likely be disturbed to see how Jeffs was able to distort familiar doctrines into such awful ends.

Prophet's Prey has few answers, but no shortage of blistering facts, and the sad hope that others can be saved. Eventually.

Amy Berg's documentary about Jeffs and the FLDS is a study of evil disguised as virtue and of devotion taken to the extreme.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 2, 2015

Berg has a secret weapon in the sermons Jeffs recorded for his flock: his bland, droning voice epitomizes the banality of evil.

A film that feels horrifyingly urgent, even as it is, at times, nearly impossible to watch without squirming.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 1, 2015

The real story here, as in Deliver Us From Evil and An Open Secret, is that so many people knew what was going on and still did nothing.

| Original Score: B | Sep 30, 2015

Jeffs, to cut to the chase, is a monstrous madman and exploiter of the flesh... as devastating as Berg's 2006 Deliver Us From Evil.

| Sep 30, 2015

This isn't a one-person problem or a two-person problem. But rather than condemning and deconstructing the institution, Berg puts almost all of the focus on a couple awful men.

At its best, this is an absorbing look at how people fall under the control of sick, sadistic hucksters.

It speaks for itself. And what it says is scarier than any horror film this year.
