For starters the actor playing The Priest, the central protagonist ffs, is just not believable as a priest! The dialogue is as wooden as the set, which despite being supposed to be a dressed stone church is clearly plywood... the "stained glass" windows are plastic and so are the 80's babes! I mean, Christ-on-a-bike, even the cross is clearly papier-mâché!

& then we get to the demons... Aah-ha! The latex they are made from was clearly too wet when taken out of the moulds and collapsed in on itself, leaving wonky shaped creatures, 2 of whom are probably real life dwarfs, or maybe just chubby children, with such a thick layer of latex on them that they look like deformed teddy bears in shape and act like it on set!

No, it has no redeeming features: it's not even funny to laugh at. It's just crap. It only gets a 2nd star because the plot, such as it is, did keep me thinking it might get better, until suddenly it was over and it hadn't!!!
