Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Sect (1991)

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

  • Director Michele Soavi built the film from concepts in two unproduced scripts he had developed for producers Mario and Vittorio Cecchi Gori, The Well and Catacombs, the latter of which he co-wrote with Gianni Romoli.
  • Kelly Curtis, who was not a fan of horror, agreed to star because she liked the psychological style of Soavi's Stage Fright and Argento's Suspiria, and saw the film as more of an Alice in Wonderland fantasy.
