Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was completed in 1988 with the title Catacombs, but when its intended distributor went out of business, the film was not released. The film debuted on video and laser disc in 1993 with the title Curse IV: The Ultimate Sacrifice in an attempt to capitalize on the mild success of the Curse films, but this is illogical, as the film was made before both Curse II: The Bite (1989) and Curse III: Blood Sacrifice (1991).
- GoofsWhen Elizabeth walks into the room where the monks are eating, the cross is already on the floor. Then the cross is shown falling off the fireplace mantel.
- Quotes
Brother Timothy: And I also managed to procure a pope's skull, just like the one in Brother Orsini's office
Brother Martino: Which pope is yours?
Brother Timothy: Why, Pope Paul the Eighth, of course.
Brother Martino: That's impossible; the one in Brother Orsini's office is the skull of Pope Paul the Eighth.
Brother Timothy: So? What's your problem?
Brother Martino: How can there be two skulls of the same pope?
Brother Timothy: Why bless you, it's perfectly simple. The pope's skull in Brother Orsini's office belonged to Pope Paul the Eighth when he was an 86 year old man; and mine is of Pope Paul the Eighth when he was only 65.
Brother Martino: Oh! I see.
Brother Timothy: Brother Martino, sometimes you are as slow as you are short.
- Alternate versionsThe 1988 UK video release was cut by 12 secs by the BBFC to edit shots of a priest being stabbed to death with a nail by a reanimated statue of Jesus.
