Holy Hell is a 2016 American documentary film by Will Allen[1][2] about his experiences as a member of the Buddhafield cult for 22 years.

When Will Allen, then 22, was forced to leave home in 1985 after his mother learned he was gay, his sister invited him to join a local alternative community and meditation group in West Hollywood, California she had been attending for nine months.

[9][10] The group, led by Michel Rostand, eventually grew to one hundred members and began calling itself Buddhafield.

[11] Michel landed a nonspeaking role in 1968's Rosemary's Baby, purportedly danced with Oakland Ballet, and apparently participated in adult films.

[9][17] Cinematographer Polly Morgan shot new footage of Michel and his followers in Hawaii by hiding in bushes, which she described as the greatest challenge in shooting the documentary.

[20][22] The documentary features two popular songs: a cover of "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede and "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol.
