Secta Siniestra (AKA: Bloody Sect) - 1982
(This Film Rates a B- )
A deranged girl is locked in a secret room. One day she escapes and stabs a sleeping man (Frederic) in the eyes with a fire poker. He lives but is obviously blind and struggles to live life. His wife insists on having a child through artificial insemination since he is not able to produce a child himself. Supposedly the doctor has the perfect donor but instead its Satanic semen which is to produce the antichrist. A sinister group takes over the pregnancy care to ensure a successful birth. It's all kind of weird and crazy after that. Sadly, the ending wasn't so satisfying, and you could tell the budget was already at zero. Overall, the gore is plenty but does contain a frog murder. Most of the killings are bloody, fake but decent. Sadly, some of the effects are truly awful such as the rubber bat attack at the 47 min mark. You can see the strings they are hanging from. Or, how about the rolling on the floor cat fight at the 56 min mark. The soundtrack is not stellar, but it builds intensity effectively especially with some of the poorer visual moments. The script has some mistranslations from Spanish to English, but this is kind of minor. There are plenty of T&A. It just misses out on being a really cohesive story line and complete film.
