“Perhaps he thought you were…” “a believer?” Brainstorm Media has revealed an official trailer for an indie sci-fi mystery thriller titled Believer, about a cult leader and one of his followers. This is set for a release in September, arriving on VOD right away when it opens. A new horror / sci-fi thriller written and directed by Sheldon Wilson. Believer follows a woman who is viciously attacked by a cult leader in a court room, only to awaken in the hospital with absolutely no memory of the incident. A struggling writer finds herself at the center of the story she is covering when brutally attacked by a notorious cult leader and mass murderer, a man who exerts an inexplicable control over his followers. When she claims to have no recollection of the attack, her family begins to question her motives… Starring Lauren Lee Smith, Ella Ballentine, Peter Mooney, Martin Roach, Ilan O’Driscoll, Jonathan Potts, and Kris Holden-Ried. Strangely the sci-fi side of this isn’t clear – does it have to do with aliens or the apocalypse or mind control or something else?
