Holy Terror

I can't believe what a piece of garbage this movie is. There is essentially no plot, the acting is horrible, the camera work is horrible, the sound is horrible; what else is there to say? There is some gratuitous nudity, but that gets old fast. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of gratuitous sex & violence, believe me. It's just that I usually like at least SOME semblance of a story to go along with it. There is a party scene in the movie where people drink and dance for about 30 minutes, make out with each other's dates, and then nobody gets it on. Two pretty hot girls show up, and there are hopes of seeing them naked, but you never do. This movie looks like it was shot in one day. It has ridiculous ending credits, which last for about ten minutes, and it still clocks in under 60 minutes TRT. How did this guy ever get money to make one movie, let alone several? It is beyond me.

The worst terror I can imagine is having Playboy model Beverly Lynne on top of me and then have her turn into some crone dressed as a nun. That would scare the hell out of me! But, that is what happened in David's (Charlie David) dream. It seems that he and Julie (Lynne) moved into a haunted house - haunted by a nun! Why? We never find out in this film that really turns into a bore.

Their friends come over that night and basically just get drunk and make fools of themselves. The killer nun is getting rid of them one by one in what can only be described as very amateur gore. There is hardly a quart of blood used in the whole film, and that includes a shower scene with Lynne where she imagines blood flowing all over her.

We have Jennifer Amanda Morgan, a very hot Yvette Lopez, and Lindsey Labrum all at the party and we have zero action. What a bummer! If you want to see has over 60 appearances that seem to over good possibilities. Films like Kinky Sex Club, Bikini Chain Gang, and Emmanuelle Tango. Check those out and leave this one alone.

"Let's make a direct-to-video movie where we can show some boob, a bit o' blood and lens-flare effects!"

"Hmm.. we need to fit in a Ouija board for cheap suspense."

"Good idea. Oh.. blood, we NEED blood. Maybe a girl in a shower? We could focus on her chest for far too long then have her smear blood on herself!"

"Great idea! How about an anti-hero who won't take off his sunglasses?"

"We're almost there.."

Ta-da! You have Holy Terror. Anyone that voted 10 on this must be involved with the production and trying to sandbag the results. I was laughing out loud throughout this schlock.

Agreeing to sell his house, a man finds a series of obstacles preventing him from doing so centered around the presence of a demonic nun, causing him to rent the property to a newlywed couple who throw a housewarming party that the nun quickly invades.

This one wasn't too bad and had some enjoyable elements. One of the strongest aspects is the odd manner in which this plays with the possessed nun living in the house. Confined to the house, the initial encounter with the priest, or the troubling nightmares they both have, the way this one sets up a great atmosphere about the house and the nun. When it gets freed and goes loose on everyone in the final half, it's fun and quite cheesy allowing for some brutal and cheesy deaths with some fine gore. Overall, these are the positives while there are some issues found within this one. The most obvious one is the painful padding even on a feature this short, where things like the party going on into the night or the discussions about the evening's activities go on far longer than necessary and keep the nun from actually doing anything as there's not a lot of scenes of here. The other factor is the low-budget on display, from the digital production quality to the lack of gore and singular-location setup. These are what make this one lowered overall.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, and sex scenes.

I thought this movie ranked right up there with such horror classics as the Exorcist, Nightmare on Elm Street and Leprechaun 1-6. Particularly engaging was the performance of one, Jennifer Amanda Morgan. She played Sara with such range and emotion. Also, her death scene was well done. There just aren't very many vomiting death scenes in horror flicks nowadays. I definitely can't wait to see her in whatever project she's working on next.

Holy Terror is a good turn your brain off movie. Along the same vein as Alien vs. Predator. Just ignore the silly plot and enjoy it, preferably with some alcohol in your system. I give it two thumbs up. I'd also like to know if there's a sequel in the works.
