Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
There is no denying the dreaminess of Soavi's stream-of-consciousness horror show.

Rating: 9/10 --
[Michele] Soavi creates a total, apocalyptic sense of dread that never leaves even the most domestic moments of the film.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Sovai doesn't settle for the easy, opting instead for a more oblique and suggestive, rather than graphic, approach to the material

Rating: 7/10 --
Even when the film gets slow, it's nearly impossible to turn away and risk missing the next beautifully framed shot.

Rating: C+ --
This so-so thriller should appeal mostly to followers of Dario Argento, the Italian filmmaker noted for such gruesome scare-fest hokum.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Yeah, it's pretty silly -- and yet the film induces a lingering unease that's hard to shake. I lay this at the film's fairly nasty tone and some of the more disturbing images.

I don't know what YOU generally look for in a horror flick, but unless it's "talking and lots of it" I'd stay far away from this one.

Description by OLDIES.com:
In medieval Europe, crusading knights massacre a village full of suspected devil worshippers and build a large gothic church above the cursed remains. It is now present day, and this elaborate cathedral still stands. But when its sealed crypt is accidentally reopened, a group of people trapped inside the church become possessed by the fury of the damned. Can the blood of the innocent survive this unholy communion, or will the ultimate demonic evil be unleashed upon the world? THE CHURCH was co-written and produced by maestro Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA, INFERNO) and sealed the reputation of director Michele Soavi (STAGEFRIGHT, CEMETERY MAN) as the new master of Italian horror. This visually stunning shocker stars Hugh Quarshie (NIGHTBREED), Tomas Arana (GLADIATOR), Barbara Cupisti (OPERA), and Asia Argento (THE STENDHAL SYNDROME), and features a remarkable score by Goblin and Keith Emerson. Originally known as DEMONS 3, THE CHURCH is presented uncut, uncensored and fully restored from original vault materials.
