“The Devil in Priest's clothing!”
Also known as 'The Confessional', another of Pete Walkers's critiques of institutional hypocrisy, in which a troubled young girl goes to confession at the local church. Unfortunately, the sexually frustrated priest she confesses to becomes obsessed with her. At first, the priest stalks the girl, but later it is revealed that he will stop at nothing, including blackmail and murder, just to get close to her.
This film feels like a grimy, unsettling descent into repressed desires and institutional rot. Its sleazy atmosphere and bleak outlook create a disturbing, claustrophobic experience that lingers long after viewing.
