Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Faults is a 2014 dark Dramedy directed by Riley Stearns (The Art of Self-Defense).Ansel Roth (Leland Orser) is a cult specialist who's career saw a sharp decline just before the release of his second book. When he's approached by a married couple who fear their daughter Claire (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has been brainwashed by the recently emerged cult "Faults," Ansel decides to attempt the risky process of deprogramming her in an attempt to earn enough money to pay back his former manager of ten years who's just dropped him as a client. Things slowly spiral out of control from there.

Deadpan Snarker: This is how Ansel behaves throughout the first act, though he dials it back once he's working again.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: A few things happen with Claire that seem hard to explain other than ambiguous supernatural interference, such as when she appears unconscious outside of the hotel room after the night she spends with her parents. This is later explained to be all part of Faults plan to assimilate Ansel, though there still remains the question as to why Mick doesn't see Ansel in the bathroom when he comes to collect the remainder of his money, or whether or not Ansel really stepped out of his body and unlocked the bathroom door or if it was just the other cult members from the outside.
