Featured review
This movie was hard to find here...now I see because it was not a movie, but rather a part of a television series.
This film is packaged as the third part to the Italian film series Demons and Demons 2. This one is listed as the third one, but the only connection to those two films is the director. "The Church" is usually considered the third movie of that series as that is what it started out to be until the new director decided to take it in another direction by making the people turning into demons more subtle and less in your face. He added more atmosphere, but had a much slower pace. This one has nothing to do with demons and thus should not have been packaged as such, but it is a cheap way to get an obscure film, or in this case episode of a television show, sold here in the United States. They did the same thing with Zombie as Zombie's four and five were just issued the title Zombies to sell some movies, in that case part five is actually older than the fourth film. This film was okay in parts, the problem is it is very slow. It has a nice atmosphere, but that is what most of this film is all atmosphere and build up with very little pay off. The premise is interesting enough, woman who has had nightmares in the past of a castle with something in the basement is confronted with the actual basement and there does seem to be something lurking within. Said woman is a famous horror writer and she has to be doing really well as she along with her husband and son are renting out a huge castle for a few weeks. Cause three people need a huge castle to stay in when a country villa or a normal sized house would suffice. Despite this absurd plot point the film plays out okay as the writer starts believing there is something to her nightmares all along the husband insists that it is all her writer's imagination. The ending is a bit interesting even though I am not sure what they were implying happened. The film could have used more kills as the film really has not all that much happening until nearly the very end. Just vague stuff here and there. Still, it had some interesting moments within too just not anywhere near as fast paced and awesome as the Demon movies.
