A church is built during medieval times on top of a pile of dead bodies that were considered possessed. Hundreds of years later a young librarian unleashes the evil within, by removing a rock in the catacombs. Series of events occur meanwhile, everybody just does not seem to be the same. Father Gus is the only one not possessed, he must save the city from becoming a pandemonium, he must find the ancient secret of the church so it can crumble to pieces.
Rating:6/10
An alright gothic movie that was originally slated to be part of the Demons series of movies. The movie starts of excellent as we look into the past and see the history of the church and why it was built. The massacre scenes are the type that you just can't look away from. The movie then moves to a more modern setting and the church has a creepy vibe to it. Towards the end of the movie, they just try to put too much in too short of a time and it kind of kills the momentum that the movie was carrying. Too many characters were being introduced towards the end and you just knew what they were there for. There are times when this movie just falls into boredom and you can see that the concept it tired. Not a bad watch if you are into Italian horror.
