The film is already showing its typically grim 1970s attitude to everything with these few scenes. Jenny's boyfriend is a selfish womaniser, Jenny herself is a pathetic doormat, even the idealist young Bernard at one point says to Vanessa: "There are things wrong with the church, but every job has its problems…" We've also seen a Brit horror cliché turned on its head - in what other film is a crucifix shining out of the darkness a symbol of terror? I ended up being quite impressed with this one; it's one of those horror movies that tries to be about something more than just scaring people." ~ Dave Sindelar, Fantastic Movie Musings & Ramblings [6]

So I’m scrolling through Arrow’s “leaving soon” section and a bunch of Pete Walker films are there and somehow I didn’t even realize they had been there to begin with? And this one is a film I actually didn’t even know existed! For some strange reason, I always thought this was an alternate title for House of Whipcord so I never bothered to seek it out. I’m glad I got that confusion remedied because this is a great one! Agnosticism which affirms that nothing can be known about God, and involves indifferentismand practical atheism. This is another tale of moral hypocrisy, misogyny, and perversion at the hands of supposed peacekeepers, very much like House of Whipcord except that Whipcord veers into the “women in prison” genre whereas this one focuses on an insane and corrupt priest. Hence, it is important that every Catholic must know a general list of mortal sins which are the actions he or she, with the help of God’s grace and for love of Him, must avoid. Below you have a list of mortal sins which is of great use for all. But first, it would be useful to recall the following: Even here, there are two important caveats. On the one hand, not every violation of the Ten Commandments is a mortal sin. For instance, the person who steals a dollar is not necessarily damned. On the other hand, not every mortal sin is a direct and obvious violation of the Ten Commandments. St. Thomas Aquinas considers this objection directly in considering the sin of gluttony: “Every mortal sin is contrary to a precept of the Decalogue: and this, apparently, does not apply to gluttony.” Aquinas argues that gluttony is an indirect violation of the Third Commandment (keeping the Sabbath holy) by turning us away from holiness. That’s a strange answer, but he explains: “Mortal sins are not all directly opposed to the precepts of the Decalogue [Ten Commandments], but only those which contain injustice: because the precepts of the Decalogue pertain specially to justice and its parts.” In other words, the Ten Commandments lay out “the first principles” of the moral law; they’re not an exhaustive list of every serious sin. The right question is this: is this the kind of behavior that places something else above God or turns me away from God? If so, it’s grave matter.Irreligion which is evidenced: in tempting Godby word or deed; in sacrilege, which profanes sacred persons or sacred things, above all the Eucharist; and in simony, which involves the buying or selling of spiritual things. theft, deliberate retention of goods lent or of objects lost; business fraud; paying unjust wages; forcing up pricesby taking advantage of the ignorance or hardship of another; Unleash the Savage Instincts: The Melting Toupee of Ray Milland: David Del Valle Talks Frogs (1972) March 2, 2018 Superstitionwhich also expresses itself in various forms of divination, magic, sorceryand spiritism.
