I've collected most (if not all) the original Saint Sinner comics from when Marvel Comics released them as part of Clive Barker's 'Razorline' collection. The original comics is about a boy in the modern age who unwittingly gets possessed by a demon, and then an angel, having both torment him and try to guide him. He becomes a self-made Saint, 'I come to you, you are my court of last resort', whose miracles always have a positive and a negative side, whether he wishes them to or not. Creative, amazing, and would have made an excellent television series.This movie is not that series. It has nothing to do with this series. The only thing that this movie has to do with the original Saint Sinner is the title, and that Clive Barker wrote the screenplay.The movie is about a monk coming from the past to the present, to hunt down two succubi he happened to unleash upon the world. The succubi are over-the-top, and grotesque. The monk is unbelievable (though passable). The plot is horrible, jerky, and makes absolutely no sense. There is a 'clock' fade between scenes, saying what time it is, but not explaining why this is important to the flow of the movie. Characters do the stupidest things, and honestly, the ending was not satisfactory in the slightest.Do not rent this movie. Do not watch this movie. Go, read the comics, and think wistfully about what may have been.

Now this may seem harsh, but I have to say this was one of the worst movies i have ever seen. The effects were a joke and the acting was atrocious. The time traveling scenes are laughable and not in a good way.Everything just seemed so low budget and amateurish even for a low budget movie.Made for TV or not, this was a pathetic attempt at horror and film making in general.Clive Barker should be ashamed to even put his name on this movie. Stay away, not even worth a peak.

In 1815, the curious monk Tomas Alcala (Greg Serano) releases two evil female succubi called Munkar (Mary Mara) and Nakir (Rebecca Harrell) from a prison with the shape of a sculptured ball. The demons kill his brother eating his arm and escapes to the Twenty-First Century using a weird device stored in the monastery. Tomas is marked on his hand by a dagger, and the priests understand that, in accordance with God's wish, this would mean that he would be a saint and should travel in time to destroy the succubi, using the dagger as a kind of compass to direct him towards the demons. In the present days, he is helped by detective Rachel Dressler (Gina Ravera), who is grieving the loss of her father and believes on his words. Meanwhile, the two evil demons are feeding themselves of blood of human beings and fighting against Tomas and Rachel. I have just seen this movie on cable television and certainly it is above average. It has a reasonable screenplay and good special effects. The cast is not bad, but something is missing to be a good or excellent movie. Maybe with a better lead actor, and some more fun in the scenes of the two succubi might improve the story. Anyway, I am a great fan of horror movies and I found `Saint Sinner' a worthwhile entertainment, specially considering that it is made for TV. I do not know why most of the present horror movies uses the expression `God's Plan'. As far as I know, the Catholic Church does not have this cliché, but it is used in many stories to designate what God expects from a character or situation. Does God have a plan for the humankind? I find this expression not appropriated, but maybe it is my misunderstanding of language or lack of knowledge of religion. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): `O Santo Pecador' (`The Saint Sinner')

This movie has too many disgusting scenes that seem to get in the way of enjoying the plot.For instance the demon secretions on the monk that seem to stay on him too long it's just gross.I'm a big horror movie buff and enjoy a good thrill but where's the suspense and element of surprise.
