In the Appalachia mountains, the daughter of the pastor of a snake handling church attempts to hide her pregnancy from him. This film has a stellar cast from some of my favorite films. Walton Scoggins (Hateful 8), Olivia Coleman (could do a dramatic reading of the phone book), Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart, No One Will Save You), and Thomas Mann (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl). Sadly, it lacks a strong script deserving of such talent. Inert would be the best word to describe it. But, if you enjoy seeing talented acting on display, watch it for their work.

This was fairly decent as a dark suspense movie, and the cast was great except for the fellow who played the pastor. My fear is that people will believe this is the kind of thing that goes on in snake handling churches. Not the case at all. I have studied this culture for years and no one should take this as a true depiction of a snake handling church. There are many things depicted in here that would not be allowed in that world, and the service they showed was way off, as well as the theology behind snake handling. As long as people realize this is an extreme fictional off-the-wall cult and not about the real group, I'm sure they will certainly appreciate the good acting. But I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

A movie that tackles the cliche religion scenarios with a good amount of respect and understanding, but isn't as memorable as others films that deal with the subject matter.

Reasonably well-told story and decent acting, but the story was depressing. I also have little patience for people who create drama due to questionable belief structures.

The atmosphere and setting are amazingly crafted. However, the plot meanders from the very beginning and fizzles out in the end. Disappointing.

'Them That Follow' is a tense, often unsettling drama, sometimes bordering on horror. It understands the disturbing nature of Southern religious extremism, and pulls no punches in its portrayal. And a truly haunting score, an isolated setting, and yet another stunning performance from Walton Goggins help to create a sense of pure dread that lasts up until the very end.

An average movie with a flat anti-climax for an end leaving viewers to give it their own conclusion. Not worth the time you spend waiting for the end.

Well acted and decent pacing, as I definitely became more engaged and interested as the film progressed, although the plot did have a paint by numbers feel at times.

A decent watch if there's nothing else worthwhile on. I really liked the cast, and thought the performances were great all around. But the plot is just not that interesting. It's definitely not a "shocker", if that's what you're looking for--It's more of a glorified soap opera, with a few intense scenes involving snake handling.

I was honestly pretty disappointed with Them That Follow. I saw the trailer and thought it looked fantastic, I looked up the cast and that had me well and truly on board. But the actual movie? Not so much on board as just regular bored.

Good acting. Told a great story.

Slow-paced. Brooding. Intriguing. Good acting. An unusual movie about a backwoods, Pentecostal, snake-handling congregation. Sinful secrets are bubbling under the surface and threaten to ruin the tightknit, faithful community. The writers made a creative choice to surround an overplayed love story with the interesting addition of giving us a window into a fairly unknown and controversial religious sect. In My Humble Opinion, it definitely won't be for everyone, with its unorthodox subject matter, subdued acting, and inconclusive ending... but it held our attention through to the end.

Too slow for my liking. And the payoff wasn't worth the wait.

Aside from the acting, the build-up is pretty on the nose and tedious. Preaching to the choir so to speak. The climax is fairly touching. But then the very ending, while it shows a hint of something interesting, ultimately cowers.

No complaints. Taught and fine.

Decent, but lacks character development. Slower movie but it missed in a lot of areas.

Aims high, fails to deliver

Them That Follow is well acted but doesn’t have the best script. Alice Englert delivers a very strong lead performance. Olivia Coleman, Kaitlyn Dever, and Walton Goggins all driver great supporting performances. The film’s story is pretty interesting. You get invested fairly quickly into the situation. It is set up very well. However, as the film keeps going more issues become apparent. The film has glacial pacing, especially towards the middle portion of the film. It feels way too slow. Some of the dialogue is cheesy. Not all, but some. Also, the ending is a little too melodramatic. Overall, I wish this film could’ve stuck the landing better. It had all the ingredients to make a great film, but sadly it failed.

Does a great job of showing their crazy...and how bought into the snake handling they are. But doesn't really allow for time for the main character to get the redemption she's going for

Them That Follow suffers from bad editing and movie promotion. It's not a horror movie or a thriller. At best, it's a tense drama about finding yourself in a deeply religious community. It's essentially a Coming of Age story in the Deep South. The main cast is excellent and Walton Goggins steals every scene- the man is an incredibly talented actor. It's something to pass the time. It's not hard to watch, it's just not particularly interesting.
