The Believers (1987)
Hoodoo You Think You Are?...
23 May 2020
THE BELIEVERS stars Martin Sheen as Cal Jamison, a psychologist who gets mixed up with an underground voodoo cult. After having already suffered through a bizarre family tragedy, Jamison must fight to keep his son from these fanatics, who are suspected in a series of child mutilations. He is helped by a tough, cynical cop (Robert Logia), and a local practitioner of Santeria.

This movie is fairly frightening, and effectively shows black magic at work in NYC. Sheen is quite good in his role, going from dismissive disbelief to all-out survival mode.

Watch for Jimmy Smits in an early, doomed role!...
