A Drifter Is Haunted by Her Former Cult Leader in ‘So Fades the Light’ Clip [Exclusive]

A former cult member is haunted by her erstwhile leader in our exclusive clip from So Fades the Light.

Praised by Bird Box author Josh Malerman for its “a chilling, full circle showdown,” the film hits Digital on June 24 from Gravitas Ventures.

Rob Cousineau and Chris Rosik of the filmmaking collective Get Super Rad direct from a script by Cousineau.

“Right-wing extremism is terrifying, not just because of what it does in the moment, but because of the long-term damage it does. So Fades the Light drops you into that aftermath. It’s about facing hard truths, and finding your way back to yourself,” Get Super Rad tell Bloody Disgusting.

“A lot of people who fall into extremist spaces are isolated and vulnerable. They’re promised safety by people who claim to have all the answers—but end up losing their voice and identity in the process. This film explores what it looks like to rebuild, to carry the shame of who you used to be, and still believe you’re worthy of a full life.”

They continue, “We made this on a tiny budget with a small crew and a lot of heart, friends, and favors. Influenced by films like Paris, Texas and Wendy and Lucy, and grounded in real-world research on far-right leaders, we wanted it to feel honest and raw. We also worked closely with our cast—shaping the script to fit their voices so the story could breathe and feel real. Collaboration is what brought this film to life.”

As a girl, Sun was a God Child worshiped by a cult of violent religious extremists. Her life in the cult ended as police stormed their compound and exchanged fire with the gun-toting flock of men, women, and children. Many faced a bloody end while their Reverend leader was whisked off to prison.

15 years later, Sun is now living like a drifter, disconnected from the world in her ramshackle van, her only constant. In an attempt to confront the trauma of her youth, she decides to travel back to the compound where it all happened. What Sun doesn’t know is that the Reverend is freshly out of prison, also on his way back home.

Kiley Lotz, Ny’Ea Reynolds, D. Duke Solomon, William Swift, D. Lou, and Anika Pyle star.

So Fades the Light will be available tomorrow on Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and Prime Video.
