“Deadly Cults” jumps into unhinged homicide cases in which agents reveal and uncover the dim universe of cults that kill. These 8 long episodes take a gander at an assortment of things, including a self-proclaimed prophet who persuades his supporters to kill an innocent family. The show unravels how force and control can prompt outrageous activities. Each case is related through meetings with agents, previous religious pioneers, and the loved ones nearest to the people in question. Look behind the eyes of religion pioneers and the brain research behind them as they abuse dread and scorn in their adherents’ psyches and hearts. The show certainly caters to a niche of the viewers. A lot of societies like these have been accused or found guilty of rape, coercion, and exploitation of their followers – none of them has attempted to kill their leaders and outsiders. But Deadly Cults shows something ironic to its title.
Deadly Cults is produced by Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, Bill Pruitt, and Paul Franklin and Chris Culvenor, Eureka Productions, from Industrial Media’s Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC).
