Ordinary Jesus Franco film , set n Paris , with lots of murders committed by a sadistic , mature ex-priest to exorcise demons by conducting a private inquisition against unfortunate women .

When the deranged priest watches an erotic spectacle based on a Black Mass, he believes that the spectators are practitioners of gruesome satanic rites and are really possessed and then he goes on a bloody massacre .
Eerie and creepy terror movie with full of killings , loathsome and lots of blood and gore , sexual violence , nudism , and abominable murders executed by an ominous psychopath by torturing women to death. A typical Jess Frank butcher's tableau with plenty of explicit scenes of wicked violence , nudism , sheer sensationalism , grisly commerciality and no for squeamish . Jesús Franco writes , produces , directs and acts as an extreme madman , a former priest called Mathis Voge who executes a criminal spree to exorcise the demons of his victims. Here Franco directs in his usual style filled with flaws , failures and gaps . It has disconcerting imagery , graphic gore , sleaziness and moody atmospherics . Co-Stars unknown actors exception for some Franco's regulars as Nadine Pascal, Monica Swinn , Oliver Mathot , and, of course , secondary acting by Lina Romay , wife and muse of Jess . It displays an anticlimatic and anappropriate musical score by Daniel white , as well as atmospheric photography by Rosenfeld and Julián Soler , being necessary a perfect remastering.
