7.5.11

the fiend (1972)


aka Beware My Brethren.
"God looks after the righteous."
A puritan religious sect, led by the Minister (Patrick Magee), performs its services in Mrs Wemys (Ann Todd) house. She is fully emersed in the needs of the church, and is ever fearful that they will cast out her son Kenny (Tony Beckley). For unfortunately Kenny has taken this religious fanatisism to another level 'cleansing' wrong-doing women in his religious fervor.
Anti-religious tract, that fails to grip, due to its slow pacing. This dissipates what little chills are thrown the audience's way.
