Because her boyfriend Terry (Stewart Bevan) has left her & she
feels disoriented, Jenny (Susan Penhaligon) goes to a confessional for the
first time in years ... but what she doesn't know is that Father Meldrum
(Anthony Sharp), whom she confesses to, has fallen in love (but in the
weird, perverted kind of love) with her, & he has taped her
confession.
That very same night at the appartment of Jenny & her sister
Vanessa (Stephanie Beacham), Bob (Jon Yule) is brutally attacked &
almost killed by a priest.
Later Father Meldrum invites Jenny to his house & plays the tape of
her confession to her, to force her into submission with it. But she is
not an easy quitter & sends Terry, with whom she has just reconciled,
round to his house to force the priest to hand over the tape ... but Terry
is brutally killed & his body disappears ...
Later, Jenny asks Bernard (Norman Eshley), a priest who sublets a room
in her appartment & is in love with her sister, to ask Father Meldrum
to hand over the tape, but when the 2 priests talk, Meldrum can not only
lie & weasel his way out of the situation but even suggest that Jenny
is a bit hallucinating because of great stress.
Soon everybody, including Vanessa starts to think Jenny's a bit mad,
but Jenny figures she still has one person who believes her, injured Bob,
who's till in intensive care in the hospital & for the time being
cannot talk. But at the hospital Jenny again meets Meldrum, & he tries
to rape her when nobody's looking, then when she accuses him successfully
blames it on stress & even manages to kill Bob in broad daylight, with
nobody even beginning to suspect him ...
But then Jenny meets Mrs Davey (Julia McCarthy), who suspects her
daughter (Kim Butcher) was driven to suicide by Meldrum, & figures
together with Jenny they can collect evidence against the priest ... But
Meldrum manages to poison Mrs Davey in church, during mass.
Jenny now throws her nerves away, so everybody thinks it's best for her
to be heavily sedated. Then though, Father Meldrum calls her again, but
her sister picks up the phone, 6 Meldrum, thinking it's Jenny, plays her
part of the tape ... seems Jenny wasn't all that mad after all, Vanessa
thinks, & decides to make a visit to Father Meldrum. She even wants to
ask if Bernard comes with her, but he had a sudden idea to dig up a grave
at the local cemetary (where he wold eventually find Terry's corpse), so
Vanessa goes there alone ... & Father Meldrum strangles her to death.
Then Meldrum & his assistant Mrs Barbazon (Sheila Keith) kill his
mother, who has given Vanessa some information concerning her son's
demented mental state, then he & Mrs Barbazon decide to confess their
love to each other ... & decide to leave this life together ...
A short time later, Bernard enters Meldrum's house, & finds dead
Vanessa, dead Mrs Meldrum 6 Mrs Barbazon with her throat cut ... &
Meldrum is still alive & again weasels his way out of it, blaming
everything on Mrs Barbazon - & Bernard believes him.
In the end, Meldrum checks if Jenny's still at home, & home alone,
so he can kill her too, the last one who might have evidence against him
...
One of these little thrillers as Pete Walker knew how to make them:
wonderfully far-fetched & stretching credibility far beyond the
limits, but mean, twisted & full of sadism (even if it's often not
wuite as explicit as it sounds). Stupid yes, but also wonderful in a way,
& perversely entertaining.
