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

| Oct 1, 2015

A chilling portrait of a megalomaniac.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 1, 2015

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

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.

For the most part ... Ms. Berg gets it right, burying Mr. Jeffs with persuasive witness testimony and documentation.

| Sep 17, 2015

Grim but riveting viewing, a layered commentary on this country's moral and spiritual underbelly.

| Sep 15, 2015

One watches the film with an escalating sense of disbelief and horror, as Warren Jeffs is steadily revealed to be an even greater monster than we initially take him for.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 14, 2015

"Prophet's Prey" is a skin-crawling chronicle of one of America's biggest criminals and the community that allowed him to flourish.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 7, 2015
