The documentary Holy Hell is interesting in how it comes from a different perspective and angle than most cult documentaries. Many cult documentaries are usually formed as a historical overview of a specific large cult or the history of cults (Van Horn). These documentaries mainly consist of experts detailing the events that happened with the cults and giving facts about them and will maybe present a few former members to share their stories. The documentaries will usually have little to no video of the cult’s events.

Allen presents the perspective and stories of himself and sixteen other former members
