In New Orleans, a series of horrific murders of priests are occurring around the city’s Catholic churches. The diocese calls in Father Michael (Cross) to fight the powerful demon, known as Daesidarius, or The Unholy. The Father’s faith is tested almost to the breaking point as the demon – disguised as a stunningly beautiful lady – attempts to seduce Father Michael into breaking his vows. Father Michael soon learns how the Unholy works – by murdering the sinner in the act of sinning, then sending that person’s soul to Hell.
So, if you ever find yourself the priest of a church, and an unbelievably sexy woman shows up in a see-through nightie.. Run you fool!! That’s the lesson here. Honestly, I thought everything was really good until the final battle in the church.. the Demon Daesidarious was.. well, it just looked awful. Even for the 80’s.
Nudity, Satanism, Voodoo, sexy redheads that turn out to be demons.. hey, this movie has it all!
Not perfect by a long shot, but definitely worth watching
