Solid British horror / thriller with a good villain in an insane priest who has a habit of stalking liberated women in 70s England. Dragged a bit and the plot was pretty dumb, including a subplot with a soon to be ordained priest falling in love with the sister of the prey.
Ending was good and the kills (including that by poisonous Body of Christ) were fun.

Good supporting cast and Roberts great in an unhinged lead performance, the movie itself is fairly stupid and at times dull…

I read Levon's book when I was a teenager and read Robbie's recent Testimony almost as soon as it hit shelves but the lack of a Garth Hudson interview and the fact that Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Levon Helm are dead allows the filmmakers and Robbie to…
