I'm sure this was a lot of fun to make and the people involved probably got a kick out of watching the finished production, but the rest of us could do with a warning up front: this is not even a 'B' movie.This really is the kind of quality I associate with a decent high school production.
Satanism, goofy humor, naked goth babes... This premise had a lot of potential and sounded right up my alley but wow, I have not been this disappointed and outright annoyed with a movie like this in a while.
Catholic priest and Inquisitor Nick Dread (marvelously essayed with deliciously lip-smacking gusto by Flambeaux) renounces his faith in God and vows to serve Satan instead when he gets burned at the stake for trying to expose the church's true reasons for persecuting and executing witches. Dread proceeds to murder 100,000 people throughout the centuries for Beezlebub, but still gets betrayed by the Devil and consigned to his own nothing corner of Hades.
