The Unholy (1988)
6/10
If you succumb to that temptation, it will kill you in the act of sin.

I was looking for something good out of the 80s and stumbled upon this one.

Father Dennis (Ruben Rabasa) is praying and is tempted by the demon in the form of Nicole Fortier, who, unfortunately, only made two movies. Now, the Pope himself would not be able to resist her unholy charms, so Father Dennis had no chance and died for his sins. he was not the first.

Father Michael (Ben Cross from the new Star Trek) has a miraculous fall from 17 stories, so the Archbishop (Hal Holbrook) assigns him to Saint Agnes, not fully informing him of what he was up against.

Ned Beatty, one of my favorites, plays a police Lieutenant who is trying to solve the murders. William Russ ("Boy Meets World", American History X) is a club owner that practices Satanic Ritual. One of his employees, Jill Carroll, tempts the good father with her holies, and he resists, proving that he is ready to face the demon with her unholies.

Lots of boobage, some blood and gore, and fascinating special effects, especially the exploding midget.
