The Sect
La setta
A spree of grisly murders is perpetrated in Frankfurt by a group of Satan worshippers. A lonely schoolteacher almost runs over an elderly man and takes him in, unbeknown to her the man has plans for her – plans that involve a permanent future with the Satanic cult.
Why it matters
A grim dive into early ’90s Euro-satanic horror that blends occult dread with unsettling suburban malaise.
- German cult horror with a distinct regional flavor—Frankfurt’s gray urbanity adds a cold, oppressive atmosphere rarely seen in Satanic cinema.
- Practical effects deliver gruesome ritual violence that feels raw, not glamorized—think early Demonic possession meets gritty Euro-thriller.
- Anchored by a quietly compelling lead performance that grounds the supernatural in everyday loneliness and vulnerability.
- For fans of ’70s-’90s occult horror who appreciate slow-burn tension over jump scares and want a slice of Satanic cult paranoia outside the usual US/UK settings.
