The hero is Neil Stryker (Rob Taylor)–a skinny cross between Snake Plissken and Steven Segal–who has just rescued a beautiful girl from the clutches of a squeaky-voiced time-traveling scientist. On his way home, this two-fisted loner stumbles into a remote religious cult who have a decidedly EVIL secret. Anyone who doesn't want to join finds himself "brain-melted, mangled, and stuffed in a cage." Therefore it's up to the heroic and salty-talking Stryker to permanently solve the problem, using guns, pruning shears and a swiftly swung ax. Though Evil Cult may be a low-budget affair, and a little draggy in parts (particularly the last 15 minutes), the wacky improvisational nature of the film keeps you interested and laughing. The acting is well above par for this type of movie, and the blood and gore, while plentiful, is ridiculously comical. You can order the DVD here: www.taylortwinpictures.com
