She wakes up and finds herself being chained to a wall.<p>Father Albert (Julian Boote) finds a prostitute lieing on the steps of his church, obviously passed out from too much alcohol. He finds out she's Maddie (Lisa Holsappel-Marrs), his childhood friend, and from here on he tries to support her and show her the right way ... and suddenly, she's gone, disappeared from the face of the earth.<p>How does this all connect? Well, Jess, Susan, Albert and Maddie all were childhood friends, and all but Albert also took part in a Satanic ritual, headed by Maddie's brother Valentine (Peter Cosgrove) ...<p>Jess and Susan are soon to find out they are held by Valentine, and he just loves to torture them and behave like the incarnated Marquis de Sade. Enter Maddie, who blames her whole life as alcoholic whore on everyone else but herself, so in a position of power, she tries to outdo her brother in terms of violence and depravity - much to his dismay though, so much so that he rapes her, then chains her to the wall with the others.<p>Father Albert tries to figure out what has happened to Maddie, but instead he finds a clue to a Satanic cult ... but when he gets too close to the truth, he is captured ... and lands in the very room Jess, Susan and Maddie are all held - and Valentine promises to release the son of whoever slaughters the priest. But from here on it gets a lot worse ...<p> <p>Definitely not your predictable cookie-cutter horror flick, rather an inventive supernatural thriller that keeps you guessing to the end, and while the shocks are plenty and gruesome, the emphasis of the movie is on storytelling and characters, and everything is helped by proper pacing that dares to be jumpy to keep things interesting, and the welcome lack of a need to explain everything away. Add to that a fine balance between suspense and sudden shocks, and you're in for some nice genre entertainment away from known the known formula. <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2015"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
