The Sect (1991)

(Credit IMDb) A spree of grisly murders is perpetrated in Frankfurt by a group of Satan worshippers. A school teacher almost runs over an old man with a box and takes him in. It's no accident that the old man has come into her life, and it quickly becomes apparent that he has plans for her, plans that involve a permanent future with the Satanic cult.I like Michelle Sovai. He's a prodigy of Dario Argento (One of my favorite horror directors of all time) It is surrealistic, weird, but it doesn't maintain your interest what so ever. it was so boring, I had to do other things at the same time. Maybe it's because I didn't care for Rosemary's Baby, but I wasn't fond of the plot either. It just doesn't have anything that stands out about it, aside from Sovai's stylish direction. Kelly Curtis is Jamie Lee Curtis's sister. DUD

'The Sect' is a profoundly strange Satanic thriller. Directed by Dario Argento protege Michele Soavi (best known for the zombie movie 'Dellamorte Dellamore'), and co-scripted/co-produced by Argento himself, this shares the surreal, dreamlike feel of 'Suspiria' or 'Inferno', but without their distinctive stylish atmosphere. At times it appears to make no sense at all, especially the bizarre sequences using insects and animals, but it always holds your interest, and is certainly original and worth watching.Kelly Curtis plays the sexy but nice schoolteacher who finds herself the centre of an evil cult who have big plans for her. Horror veteran Herbert Lom ('Mark Of The Devil', 'Asylum', etc.) is a mysterious old man who she befriends after nearly accidentally running him over. Can he be trusted? Can Miriam's pet white rabbit be trusted? And what exactly do subterranean wells, a Manson-like hippie killer, evil storks, Lewis Carrollesque dream sequences, and sticking extinct earwigs up people's noses have to do with it all? I'll leave you to work it all out.A very freaky but entertaining movie that will probably become a future cult classic. Highly recommended.

Unusual film has a woman being pursued by witches and she has a hole in her basement that leads to another world where the witches are at. Kind of reminded me of Alice in Wonderland in a few parts. And a few parts are also downright creepy. Thsi is one you may have to watch twice but it is very good.

Even more bizarre than Michele Soavi's other films, including "Dellamorte Dellamore" and "the Church". It barely contains a resemblance of a plot, but it's definitely entertaining. Some scenes are very creepy, others are downright laughable. Example: One scene has a woman getting her face torn off by Satanists, another has a rabbit watching television and using the remote control. Why??? Oh well, it doesn't matter, I still love this movie. Not as good as "Dellamorte Dellamore" but far superior to "The Church", and probably "Stage Fright". Check it out if you're in the mood for something really weird.
