Prophet's Prey Reviews
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A film that feels horrifyingly urgent, even as it is, at times, nearly impossible to watch without squirming.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The real story here, as in Deliver Us From Evil and An Open Secret, is that so many people knew what was going on and still did nothing.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It speaks for itself. And what it says is scarier than any horror film this year.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
A chilling portrait of a megalomaniac.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
One watches the film with an escalating sense of disbelief and horror, as Warren Jeffs is steadily revealed to be an even greater monster than we initially take him for.
The Playlist
Kate Erbland
"Prophet's Prey" is a skin-crawling chronicle of one of America's biggest criminals and the community that allowed him to flourish.
HitFix
Dan Fienberg
This isn't a one-person problem or a two-person problem. But rather than condemning and deconstructing the institution, Berg puts almost all of the focus on a couple awful men.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
The sadness and hopelessness of the story becomes overwhelming.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Berg has a secret weapon in the sermons Jeffs recorded for his flock: his bland, droning voice epitomizes the banality of evil.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Berg lays down a narrative of warped religious authority and patriarchal abuse every bit as chilling as her pedophile priest expos, "Deliver Us From Evil."
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
As horror upon horror unfolds in Prophet's Prey, Amy Berg's shocking documentary about the mad polygamist Warren Jeffs and his followers, one may marvel, in horror, at the elaborate forms that deviancy can take.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
At its best, this is an absorbing look at how people fall under the control of sick, sadistic hucksters.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
For the most part ... Ms. Berg gets it right, burying Mr. Jeffs with persuasive witness testimony and documentation.
Village Voice
Ernest Hardy
Grim but riveting viewing, a layered commentary on this country's moral and spiritual underbelly.
Variety
Justin Chang
A gripping, authoritative account of the myriad abuses of Warren Jeffs, the currently incarcerated leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Roger Catlin
What's shocking about the film, which is as effective in its way as HBO's Scientology expose, Going Clear is how widespread his ugly cult still is.
Las Vegas Review-Journal
Christopher Lawrence
Just in time for Halloween, Showtime is unleashing one of the creepiest, most depraved characters you'll ever see on television: Warren Steed Jeffs.
Paste Magazine
Ross Bonaime
Despite going too far in one of its arcs while not going far enough in the other, Prophet's Prey is still an excellent distillation of the FLDS and Jeffs, presenting as much information as possible behind this truly awful story.
Salt Lake City Weekly
Scott Renshaw
Despite the fragmented nature of Berg's exploration of this mysterious group, it's chilling when providing a comprehensive look at one happens when one twisted man convinces enough people that he speaks for God.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A powerful, enraging and heartbreaking expos.
