The Church
(La Chiesa)
Italy - 1988
Directed by Michele Soavi
Welcome to a film that should have been different. Filmed in Budapest, the film begins in medieval times, where hundreds of possessed "witches" are buried in the foundation of a cathedral so that their evil will be forever encapsulated (kind of like asbestos). When, centuries later, a modern-day librarian accidentally disturbs the mass grave, all the evil is unleashed and the hero, Father Gus (Hugh Quarshie) must save humanity.
Trust us, by the end of this movie you won't care whether humanity will be saved or not, you'll just want your money back. If only it were a comedy, then you could go ahead and laugh at the "bucket heads" in the medieval armor helmets. But sadly, I think we were supposed to take it seriously. We would recommend this film only if you enjoy campy horror movies, and even then, you might be disappointed.
Runtime: 102 Minutes.
