In the 17th century, an order of monks in Italy capture and entomb a demon that has possessed a member of their group. 400 years later, school teacher Elizabeth Magrino visits the monastery in order to do some research. What she and the current monks do not realize is that the evil hiding within the catacombs has unwittingly been released.

Dare I say, Schmoeller saw some Fulci? There’s verve and style but too much monk-y business! The vibes are great, the gags are great, the pacing is languid, and the plot is stretched on a rack. Monastery Freak!

Also, this Scream Factory multi-pack dvd copy is no good.

Is this really Curse IV? I feel like that cover might be wrong. I admit I expected it to be terrible. It’s actually pretty good. It’s not scary but it has a great atmosphere to it. I dig religious/demonic based horror movies and this one has an interesting story being set at a monastery. I think it could be ripe for a remake and become something really scary in the right hands. Check it out!
