I think it's late 80's, a father finds out his daughter joins a cult, possibly a satanic cult. I can't remember for sure. I was thinking it had a title like Gatherings or Rituals or something. But those were 2 different horror movies, not this one. I think it was a one word title something similar to that. I think I remember the movie cover having a pitch fork on it, but I can't remember for sure.

Can you tell us anything more about the film? Any actors, key events, scenes?

Did it involve corn fields?

Where was it set? US, England, Someplace else?

Possibly "Thirst"? An Australian movie from around 1979 about a girl in a cult.

Does "Thirst" end with the woman being tricked/forced/"driven to" killing her lover/love interest and then going mad? If so it may be another odd film I think I saw when I was in Japan, that I've wondered about for a while. I've thought about starting a thread, but couldn't think of enough details to make posting a question worthwhile. Thanks.

Is the movie that you're looking for Oldboy, Puzzled?

No, it's definitely not "Oldboy", which has nothing to do with vampires and the main character isn't a woman. The movie Steve linked to definitely sounds like it's the film I was looking for. It's just that the plot summaries on IMDB don't mention the specifics of what happened at the end and that is the scene I remember the most.

For a movie about a girl joining a cult, I'd give The Craft a go. Whether it's the movie you wanted or not, it's a damn good film.

Someone posted a more detailed synopsis of "Thirst" on IMDB and it's almost certainly the film I saw in Japan. Thanks Steve.
