Cinema has long been a platform for exploring the dark corners of human nature, and these communities, led by charismatic and manipulative figures, provide fertile ground for narrative, with subjects that evoke the same mix of charm and horror as cults. I recently watched a documentary on Netflix called "Dancing for The Devil: The7M TikTok Cult" and came to the right place if you want something similar or want to stream a cult movie. 

From pulse-pounding thrillers that keep viewers on the edge of their seats to introspective dramas that delve into the spirits of both cult leaders and followers, the cinematic experience has interesting depictions of cults of all complexity. Without any more hassle, here are the top movies about the cult of the best streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu and Max. 

"Martha Marcy May Marlene" is a psychological thriller about a young woman named Martha (Elizabeth Olsen) who escapes from a cult led by a charismatic and manipulative leader. Struggling to return to normal life, she seeks shelter with her sister and brother-in-law. But Martha's traumatic experience in the cult haunts her, leading to paranoia and confusion about reality and memory. The film can feel incredibly unforgettable, but free from identity, trauma, and a dominant and abusive environment

"Invitation" is another psychological horror thriller film that will have you on the edge of your seat. The story follows Will (Logan Marshall Green) attending a dinner party hosted by his ex-wife Eden (Tammy Blanchard) and her new husband at a house they once shared. As the night progresses, Will becomes increasingly suspicious of the true intentions behind the rally. Tensions escalate as he begins to believe that Eden and her new friend have an ominous agenda. It's a purely tense film with an unsettling nature of cult-like behavior, and I think it successfully provides suspense and shocking climax.

Director Ali Astor's "Midsommar" is a far-flung Swedish film to attend an unusual midsummer festival after experiencing a devastating family tragedy. The film centers on Dani (Florence Pugh), a young woman who joins his boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) and his friend on a trip to the village. As the strange customs and rituals of the villagers become increasingly disturbing and violent, what begins as a relaxed retreat quickly turns into a nightmarish experience. Therefore, if you need something that combines psychological horror with folk horror elements, "Midsommar" should be the next watch. But you may want to sleep with the lights on later. 

Watch Max

"Once Upon a Time. "In Hollywood," directed by Quentin Tarantino, is a drama・comedy that pays homage to the last years of Hollywood's golden Age. The film follows TV actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo Dicaprio) and his best friend Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) in his stunt double navigating the rapidly changing film industry in Los Angeles in 1969. And yes, the film includes a cult, especially the Manson family. You will see real historical events related to Charles Manson (Damon Herriman) and his followers who were responsible for a series of notorious murders in 1969. The main plot focuses on fictional characters Rick and Cliff, but the existence of the Manson family and its cult activities play a key role in the story.

Watch on Hulu

Another horror movie about a cult to add to your list is "The Apostle." The film follows Thomas Richardson (Dan Stevens), who travels to a remote Welsh island to rescue his sister, Jennifer (Ellen Liss), who is kidnapped by a mysterious cult demanding a ransom. As Thomas infiltrates a cult led by the charismatic prophet Malcolm (Michael Sheen), he discovers the dark and violent secrets of the community. 「使徒」は、激しいサスペンス、グラフィックホラー、そして危険なカルトの精神への深い飛び込みを兼ね備えています。 あなたが少し奇妙だが魅力的なものを探しているなら、これはあなたのための映画です。
