Aaron1375 Got this film on a pack of horror movies...this is one of eight. Quite frankly, if this was the only movie in the pack it was well worth the five bucks I spent on it. I am surprised to see the score here is so low, I thoroughly enjoyed it myself. This tale that takes place in New Orleans and has a priest trying to solve the mystery behind two previous priests deaths in the church he now resides in, just worked for me.The story has a priest who survives a fall from a building with not so much as a scratch. He is assigned his own Parrish after this incident as two older priests talk of him as the one. Well strange things begin to occur as the priest meets a girl named Millie who works at a bar that is a bit satanic. The owner Luke asks the priest for help, but the priest distrusts this man completely and suspects him of the murders. Time seems to be running out, and the priest has few leads until the two older ones try to tell him that he is a key participant in the battle of good and evil.Like I said, I thought it was pretty good. It had some gore, some nudity and a rather interesting mystery to go along with it. Sure the creature effects were not super good, but I thought they were better than any computer generated monster that appears in low budget films of today. I liked the death of the one guy who pukes, though all the kills are pretty gruesome. Maybe they could of been spaced out better and had more deaths, but overall I liked how the movie was presented.So this may just be a case of me liking a bad film. Would not be the first time mind you, but I like what I like and I do not like what I don't. It is all a matter of opinion, something some IMDb users really need to get in their head before dismissing a review simply because it is negative about a film they like or positive about one they don't or it is given a score other than one or ten! This one had a bunch of stuff I like in a horror film including a supernatural slant and I always enjoy seeing Hal Holbrook in a horror film, though his appearance here is brief. Though I so knew that was going to happen to the priest at the end!

trashgang Running through some old horror magazines I came across this title. I was rather surprised by the big names in it and the fact that it isn't a popular flick. So it has to deal with some problems.We're running late in the eighties and by then horror wasn't that popular anymore. The slashers were passé and every item they could use to make a horror they used. Here are some names that should attract a lot of attention. Ned Beatty was in it, one we knew from so many flicks but to name one classic, Deliverance (1072), also on the list was Hal Holbrook (Magnum Force 1972 or The Fog 1980). Trevor Howard in one of his last flicks, he died in 1988, we knew him from Ghandi (1982). So really good thespians but were they failed was the fact that they aren't shown that much. On the other hand the movie do deliver at some points but also has some weak parts. There are some parts were there is a bit too much of nothing going on but the mast ten minutes are worth watching. And the first part is also worth mentioning because it is sometimes a bit gory. The demon is played by Nicole Fortier who only appeared in two flicks, Scared Stiff (1987) and this one. She was running in her nudies all through this flick and even has some full frontal nudity. It's weird that she vanished from the screen after this flick, she really had a good looking face. But don't forget to watch the effects and that's what make sit also worth watching. No CGI, this is the real stuff. There are indeed some gory parts with someone hanging upside down on a cross and having his intestines hanging out. Once the priest is having his confrontation with the demon it's also worth watching but the monster itself looks a bit ridiculous for that time. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it a lot, okay here and there a small yawn but overall worth watching. Gore 2/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 4/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

avlehs-1 This movie was very entertaining and had some really cool 80's special effects(my favorite). I also watched this on Fear.net for the first time(as a poster stated). I was really wrapped up in the story but when the demon midget exploded I almost wet myself. I don't know why but it caught me off guard. I still chuckle when I think of the scene but it didn't ruin the movie for me. I didn't watch this movie as a kid like most of my favorite horror movies from the 80's but I really enjoyed it. I guess I somehow missed this movie as kid, as I have no memory of it. I don't even remember it on the shelf at my local video store and Southtown Video had a ton of horror movies. Oh well, I guess it was a small town video store after all. I recommend it to any horror fan and especially to 80's horror fans.

nulink1 I enjoyed this movie and was surprised when I first saw it years ago. I thought it was genuinely scary. The story was a good one, battle of good vs evil. By today's standards it may seem dated, but still comes across as creepy. It also has several twists in the plot the keep you tuned into the story. Character questions about the priests and others and their relationship is also good. I don't believe that you will be disappointed if you watch this movie with the mindset that it was filmed before the whole CAG craze of today. They had to depend more upon the story. When you combine all the elements involved you get a good movie.
