The Following
Kevin Bacon plays a former FBI agent trying to capture an escaped serial killer who has assembled a cult of serial killers to commit murders. If you thought one serial killer was scary, try an entire cult full of them.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Jon Hamm plays a hilarious cult leader (yes, hilarious) who kept Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) in a doomsday cult after kidnapping her. Trust us, it's way funnier than it sounds.
The Master
A veteran of the Navy returns home and gets involved with a cult called The Cause. Let's just say, their cause turns out to be pretty disturbing.
American Horror Story: Cult
The citizens of Brookfield Heights are left divided after the results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Soon, the town becomes a breeding ground for an extremist group angry at the current political climate. This one hits eerily close to home.
Martha Marcy May Marlene
This film, starring Elizabeth Olsen, finds Martha struggling to get back to normal life after fleeing an abusive cult.
Eyes Wide Shut
Yes, Tom Cruise once starred in a movie about a secret society. The film followed his character Dr. Bill Harford as he infiltrates an unnamed cult during a night of debauchery.
Helter Skelter
This movie is what actual nightmares are made of. It follows the investigation and trial of the tragic Tate-Labianca murders orchestrated by cult leader Charles Manson.
Waco
This film is based on the FBI and ATF seizure of David Koresh's Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas in the spring of 1993. The film follows the life and eventual death of the cult leader.
Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath
This award winning docu-series follows actress Leah Remini and other former members of Scientology as they seek to reveal the truth about the organization.
The Path
This show depicts members of a fictional religion called Meyerism and Eddie Lane's (Aaron Paul) crisis of faith. Not all things are what they seem on the surface in this gritty drama.
Cult
A show about a show called Cult, and the journalists investigating the real life suspicious disappearances linked to the show. It doesn't get more meta than that!
Rosemary's Baby
Rosemary has a mysterious pregnancy and must protect her unborn child from her strange neighbors and odd occurrences. If you're pregnant, definitely pick a different cult classic to binge.
The Wicker Man
This film is as frightening as it sounds. A police sergeant is on a mission to find a woman that everyone in town says never existed. Sounds a little cult-ish!
Aquarius
Another series about Charles Manson—sort of. This one is back before he was a larger than life cult leader and just a budding crook in the '60s. Oh how quickly things change.
