Spiral
Directed by Kurtis David Harder
Aaron and Malik move to a small town so they can enjoy a better quality of life, and raise their 16 year-old daughter with the best social values. But nothing is as it seems in their picturesque neighborhood. And when Malik spies the neighbors next door throwing a very strange party, something shocking has got to give. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.
When couple Aaron and Malik move to a picturesque small town, Malik is convinced their neighbors are up to something sinister.
Cast: Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, Ari Cohen, Jennifer Laporte

It's interesting how we can all watch the same picture and come away with distinctly different impressions. "Spiral" unnerved me; I kept thinking about all the parts that gave me a shudder——especially when the Good Husband finally understands that things are going to end badly viewing the 1985 video... He stands up and we see all the masked-and-robed apostles in the windows behind him. Aaargh! I agree with bekkah's comments below. And I was surprised at how moving the flashbacks to Malick's trauma were.
A bit slow moving-rather a lot is squeezed into the last 20 mins but all is forgiven because it's a nice satisfying mystery-a good twisty bit at the end which made you question everything that's happened so far. I like how it was all explained properly at the end and wasn't the usual run of the mill stuff I thought it might turn out to be. A sensitive and educational handling of LGBQT+ issues too.

Weird boring movie that thought it was more clever than it was. Don't waste your time.
