Oscar-winning director John Schlesinger made a spine-tingling thriller with Marathon Man, but luck wasn’t in his corner for a later film The Believers. Despite an excellent cast of actors and some potential for a first-rate suspense thriller, the movie despite occasional bursts of genuine tension and fright inevitably degenerates into a messy mix of occult pseudo-religion, voodoo, and the supernatural. In the end, it doesn’t prove itself worthy of its director or its very hard-working actors.
