Trust me on this one...
Discriminating Horror Fan: Do not be afraid to drop your dollars on this disc. Semi-Lovecraftian creepiness goes down in a midieval cathedral. Michele Soavi directs this very stylish flick from a script that allows the plot to meander through the set-pieces the way only Europeans can. THE CHURCH does have that already nostalgic mid-80's feel to it, but somehow Argento and crew achieved production value impressive even by today's standards. Acting that ranges from competent to very good, lush photography, gorgeous interiors, plenty of well executed gore and creature effects that never become gratuitous, even some gunuine suspense; it all moves at a pace that feels just right towards a wicked climax and a spooky final sequence. I don't want to over do it, but this is a real gem. Beautifully transferred from pristine source material, it looks and sounds great. Anamorphic, trailer, director bio, in an attractive keepcase. If you are a hardened gore-hound, a Universal/Golden-Age snob, or a EuroTrash ...[fan], you might want to try before you buy. But if you're like me, a bit of all three, this is money well spent.

Unsettling & Bizarre. Definately worth a HORROR fan's time.
Originally planned as the third installment in the DEMONS series, this interesting concept became a completely different film altogether which is kind of TOO BAD. The DEMONS series is a lacklustre and tedious affair. It would have benefited greatly with this entry since it would have guaranteed at least ONE GOOD film in the series. THE CHURCH, although lacking on several aspects, is light years ahead of them.

The plot centres around a massacred village. It's cursed victims are accidently resurrected several centuries later. The main action takes place inside a very imposing church that was built over the massacre site. Several unlucky people are accidently locked inside where they become possessed and attacked one by one by the invisible demons. The film is very chatty so patience is definately neccessary but for those of you who stick it out, you will be awarded with several scenes of artistic merit and INTENSE GORE. Soavi, like Argento, Fulci & Bava, doesn't shy away from depicting loss of life in the most unsettling manner. The scene that comes to mind is a very disturbing, very graphic, very BLOODY suicide. There is also a neck impaling, a face ripping, and a very humorous demise involving a speeding subway. Also, the HORNED ONE HIMSELF makes a couple of unexpected cameos flaunting his goat-like appearance and elaborately curved horns - farm animals never looked this viscious.

THE CHURCH is your typical Italian/Euro horror movie with the typical BAD dubbing, stiff acting and several million plot holes. However, fans of the genre REALLY don't care about these films shortcomings because they more than make up for it with their visual style and awesome body count. THE CHURCH is a very attractive movie to look at. The main actor's are quite attractive as is the stunning Church location. Argento/Soavi fans should enjoy this surreal but confusing tale of Satanists, Satan and everything else that is UNHOLY. Don't expect DEMONS 3- this film is FAR superior to both of those BAVA attrocities. However, for those of you WANTING a DEMONS affair you might want to skip on this one because YOU WILL be disappointed.
