A Masterpiece!

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Horror? Really? This one made me reluctantly sad than being scared! Because you can't every time make a horror flick workout by showing an evil and a priest... Till the interval I felt myself to be in a total puzzle as to what the hell had gotten in a geek just relentlessly kidnapping probably single moms and harassing them for his lust...The worst part you want to know? The bastard didn't even leave his own prostitute sister (still...) Although some scenes were setup horrifically good, still more of blood lust was visible than horror. Movie also didn't even do any good while explaining the plot as one can't just think of just a simply old in day concept of priest preventing the birth of evil with so much over exaggeration.... The whore already amazes me much more when she on one hand has a thing for the priest but still assaults him! Really? How on earth can you name a psycho thriller as horror! Still somewhat fine for building tension at the end and the geeky brother...

Unless this film was a highly meta commentary on the nature of schizophrenia as shown through its film making style then it was an utter shambles. There are so many plot points that aren't properly explained and events that seem to have no purpose. It really does make you wonder why someone would throw this whole thing together.It fails to be a compelling movie on nearly every level: story, acting, directing, editing and music are all not really there and I still have no real clue as to what the goal for making this was.Overall it should just be avoided since there really is very little of note, even on a 'so bad it's good' level.

On the bright side the film was professionally shot. That is about it for compliments.Professional reviews and the summary here on IMDb gave the impression this is an intense gore filled "roller coaster". Instead it is a disjointed thrown against the wall to see what would stick mush of PG-13 gore (every time something gruesome happens the camera cuts away so we never honestly see what the "victim" was screaming about), loose possession, demonic ritual, insanity, God, De Sade, and children doing something really awful 25 years ago; but we never are clear on what exactly they did! Couple this with a music score that drowns out key portions of dialog and it is headache inducing!The icing on the cake is the actor playing Valentino. He is so over the top he was in the clouds! A parody of a parody of a joke of a madman.Whatever your taste is in genre horror this film gives you nothing to hold on to or praise as fulfilling a mission statement.

This movie might have some disturbing moments if the viewer could figure out what was going on. There are ghosts, a maniac in a mask, a little gore, some kind of demonic possession, but it's hard to see why this waste of time was made. Mostly it's about a woman abducted by a psycho, but these scenes are too reminiscent of The Poughkeepsie Tapes, and the comparison is certainly not favorable. The supernatural elements don't add up to much, the addition of the priest is silly, and the conclusion, as far as I can understand it, is weak. Can't even give it credit as low-budget fun due to the dramatic music that drowns out the sloppy dialogue.
