Martin Sheen leads a veteran cast in a very run of the mill voodoo themed effort.
I like the concept of Voodoo, it's dark, it's intimidating and there is always an element of necromancy there which has real potential. So why is it that voodoo themed movies always tend to suck so badly?
Also starring Robert Loggia, Jimmy Smits, Harris Yulin and the criminally underrated Richard Masur it certainly has no issues in that department. Alas they weren't given much to work with and what you'll find here is something that feels very familiar.
Following the same tropes The Believers tells a very generic voodoo story and though it starts strong enough it trails into mediocrity really quite fast.
It's no wonder I'd never heard of this and quite frankly it's not going to be worth remembering.
The Good:
Richard Masur
The Bad:
Instantly forgettable
