3/5
Not a classic, but a unique British horror film that locates something unnerving and immoral in the supposed pillars of society. Go to Full Review

Those wanting to see a religion-based horror pic with a head on its thematic shoulders won't be let down. Go to Full Review

B-
In the end, there are more pros than con with House of Mortal Sin, but Walker feels constipated with this effort, unsure if he wants to court controversy or make a cracking chiller. Go to Full Review

Poe W Jul 25, 2018 its a pete walker movie thats sort of like the boring british equivalent to more exciting italian movies of the 70s. but it was kind of cool if youre a fan of this sort of thing See more
Poe W Apr 18, 2017 Menudo pedazo de sorpresa acabó de descubrir. Una de las películas más retorcidas que jamás he tenido la suerte de ver. Ambientación espeluznante, personajes creíbles y sobretodo, un Anthony Sharp que debería haber formado parte de cualquier antología de asesinos desde el minuto uno. Sensacional es decir poco, muy poco. See more
