Director: Donald Farmer & ors.
Release date: 2023
Contains spoilers
This is an anthology film, as well as a nunsploitation, and the IMDb page lists a whole load of directors including schlock meister Donald Farmer. Given that the segment I’m reviewing this for was recycled into (I assume, though this could be the recycled piece) Farmer’s flick Debbie Does Demons then I assume he was responsible for the segment.
After an opening with a medieval warrior carrying a pendant, running through woods and finished off in a stream by (revealed to be vampire) nuns, the segment begins with a couple undergoing (and truthfully, it does seem undergoing is the correct descriptor) couple’s therapy. The therapist is a dick, no two ways about it, but he has a plan. He is so horrible to his clients that they see the good in each other! Anyway, after the session a woman (the therapist's ex-wife, it would seem) comes in and there is no love lost between them. However, she says that their son is missing. He was convinced that vampires ran a brothel and went to investigate he has not come back.
She takes his enthusiasm for wanting to find their son as a reaction to the word brothel… but it seems he is a vampire hunter, he puts on priest’s vestments, grabs a stake and a book – with the pendant from the opening – and off he pops to the brothel. The brothel is the Church of Hallowed Holes – which will be used in Debbie Does Demons, and all the footage as he goes in is also in the other film. The vampire leader awakes as the priest is shown round a variety of fetish orientated rooms and then they attack him (he being wholly ineffectual as a hunter) and lob him in a coffin.
He at least asked about his son, though he got no answer. Then a demonic nun appears and starts killing the vampire nuns and eventually gets him out of the coffin, becoming his ex-wife, who then gives him a hug and that’s the segment. No answer about the son, no real story and footage that will be reused. All in all, it’s a damp squib. There is another segment with a nun who claims to feed on life but the actual segment only really shows slasher tropes. So, the score is for the Hallowed Holes segment and it really doesn’t deserve any more than 2 out of 10 – it fails to hold a narrative, we don’t know what the deal is with the wife, the priest/husband is ineffectual and who knows what happened to his son.
