Pretty much a double bill of budget blasphemy. For all those who find salvation in the down tuning of some sort of faith than this double dose of debauchery is just for you. Creator of Plankton, Carnage Rd. and a few others but sometimes also under the name Maximillion Crane or Al Passeri. The Bruno Mattei (Vincent Dawn) of our day.
Hellinger starts off with the taunting of a young girl by her father. Do this, don’t do that sort of deal when out from behind him comes what seems to be the girls bodyguard, Hellinger, ready to rip out the eyes for their souls. The eyes hold the souls so out they come. 20 years later she is still in some therapy for her past troubles with the almighty Hellinger ,but now she is convinced he is just a figment of her imagination. That seems to be the wrong thing to do because when he is not believed in, when you finally come to terms that he is nothing more than a wicked dream he comes back with even more vengeful terror. She is in terror and nothing can hold him back. Until the finale kill. You’ll be surely disappointed when the closing scene finishes the whole story in a 10 second wrap up. A little quick if you ask me but hey, not all great movies have to finish with a convincing end. Look at Argento, prime example. If you like your beings closely related to a pinhead character dishing out heaping handfuls of grotesquer-ies and a little catholic bashing than go ahead and venture into a warm and inviting world of fun movie play.
Now Holy Terror is a different story. A Nun was exorcised back in the day only to die in this certain house. I assume she can’t leave and her landlord is here to help out. He rents the place out fully furnished and cheap rent to a new swinging couple for her to exact her revenge, well, I guess just to kill since she died while in the midst of possession so a puppet of Satan I presume. Great acting but story wise is bland and gleefully punishing. Set to a Black metal soundtrack for an even more intense push seeing that the Catholic? Bashing commences so tits up for that. Still nice to see a nun do some savage duties on the mortal world. Killjoy of Necrophagia (If you’ve seen the video Through The Eyes Of The Dead then you’ll now what I’m talking about) would surely get a kick out of some cheap nunsploitation and bible bashing.
Where Holy Terror dives it’s rubber possessed bitch of God head the wrong way Hellinger deserves a little more for being an intensely made movie similar to The New York Ripper, with a Pinhead inferiority complex.
