“Cult Girls” (** out of four) was a better-than-average horror thriller about a woman (Saara Lamberg) and her two younger sisters (Ava Bakaitis and Milla Bakaitis) who grow up in a Pagan apocalyptic cult led by an ancient Baltic goddess of death and reincarnation; they subsequently escape but the torment of this eats away at them for years leading them back to their ancient grounds where they grew up to conquer the evil spirits that have been haunting them. Umpteenth story of mumbo-jumbo horror and paranormal activity is given a definite boost by director Mark Bakaitis who knows where to put his camera and infuses this with a searing and striking visual style. Well-produced and well-shot by Trent Schneider on a low budget. Filmed about 5 years ago but worthy of its release and may become a “cult” favorite.
