Sam (Helen Mutch) has nightmares of a monastery stalked by a hooded man with weapons from the Crusades, killing people left and right. Her therapist Dr. Hoffman (Lance Henriksen) figures out where this places is — a former German monastery called Wallenhausen — so she flies off to explore the place and before you know it, there’s the Sin Reaper murdering people with his Christian-themed mace.
This was directed by Sebastian Bartolitius, and it was somehow in 3D and picked up by Fangoria. I have no idea how those last two things happened. This movie also has the slowest killer you’ve ever seen in a slasher. He makes Michael Myers look like Usain Bolt.
People say this seems like a krimi film or an 80s slasher without the benefit of good kills or the often requisite T&A. I can agree, but those genres usually produce interesting results.
This movie needed better effects, improved blocking for the murder scenes, and, well, it requires a lot more than that. It kind of needs to start over again. Imagine if a Full Moon castle-based movie wasn’t good. This is that movie.
You can watch this on Tubi.
