    If you can't trust your local priest....who can you trust?!

    Even though the majority of his movies haven't gone on to win vast acclaim or classic status, any fan of cinema would have to admit that British horror maestro Pete Walker is one of the most fascinating directors of the seventies. House of Mortal Sin follows the common Pete Walker theme of hypocrisy in an institution; and this time it's the church that gets lampooned. The film does feel like an all too obvious attempt to drum up some controversy, but it's all so well done that it's easy to ignore this fact and just enjoy the twisted imagination of Pete Walker and scriptwriter David McGillivray. Catholic priests are always above suspicion due their high moral ground in society, and so the idea that one of them could go off the rails and abuse his privileges is as intriguing as it is frightening. The story follows Father Xavier Meldrum; a priest who tapes the confessions of his parishioners and then uses them for blackmailing purposes! And he isn't content to stop there, as if the blackmail doesn't go to plan - he isn't morally above murder!

    The film is a little overlong and slightly overindulgent at times; but Pete Walker paces the plot well, and although at least ten minutes could have been shaved from the movie; it never gets boring. Walker is great at creating atmosphere, and through ugly cinematography and downbeat locations, the director ensures that there is nothing pleasant about the movie. The murder scenes are graphic in a typically seventies fashion, although the talented director never lets the blood overtake the plot, and the murder scenes are an event within the movie; rather than the plot being tied around the gore. The film takes influence from a range of sources, including the slasher sub-genre (most notably Psycho), as well as the Italian Giallo (the black gloves towards the end being a particular highlight) and even Walker's own previous efforts. As usual, Walker pulls great performances out of his older actors. Anthony Sharp is suitably sinister in the lead role, and also manages to retain his edge of authority. Hilda Barry gives the film the right amount of horror as the mother, while Walker regular Sheila Keith rounds off the cast in a convincingly macabre role. On the whole; this may not be as great as House of Whipcord, but House of Mortal Sin is further proof that Pete Walker really knows how to make his audience think and comes recommended.

    A very British slasher effort - tea with vicar and a dose of gore.

    Disappointing Pete Walker film which flirts with a variety of good ideas but manages to fumble all of them.

    Story has vulnerable young woman (Penhaligon) going to Confession, where she is harassed by the priest whose fatherly concerns have a sinister element. He turns out to be a crazed killer, stemming from his mother (yawn!!) who still lives with him in a semi-vegetable state.

    Plot goes into a poor-mans 'Rosemary's Baby' scenario, Penhaligon unable to convince anyone of the truth, with the Priest above suspicion because of his position.

    Film labours its point that religious restrictions have fashioned Father Meldrum into a killer, while the younger Priest who tries to help is too wet for the audience to respond to. All this leaves Stephanie Beacham as the best thing here. At least the film doesn't cop-out at the end, but by then we are past caring. A film students favourite, but more interesting to study than to watch.

    Neither horror nor giallo but....

    A very fine Walker effort. Not really a horror film nor a giallo but very British. Must have upset as many as it pleased upon release with it's uncompromising attack upon the Church in general and the Catholic Church in particular. Excellent central performances and it is these performances that helps the film over the odd script shortcomings. Not for the easily offended but for everyone else quite a treat and who is to say accusations of wrong doings by priests and cover ups by other self righteous members of society is so far fetched? Begins well and although gets a bit lost halfway through, there is a full powered body strewn build up to a surprising ending.

    campy Brit horror flick

    Well... Mortal Sin opens with a pretty gruesome scene. Young chick comes home crying... runs up to her room, reads the bible, and we're off on the adventure. Then our star "Jenny" (Susan Penhaligon) meets up with her old school buddy (Norman Eshley) who is now a priest. Lots of talking, drinking tea, confessions in the church, and of course, eerie, creepy music. Anthony Sharp is Father Xavier, and plays a large part in our story. Some of the scenes don't really make sense, but I guess you have to buy into it. Next thing you know, her school, priest friend is now shacking up with Jenny. Holy guacamole, batman! Lots of odd things and nasty things. Not for the young 'uns. An entertaining viewing, but SO predictable. All of it.

    Recommended on the Frank Dicaro show (XM radio), this is one of the campy horror flicks which didn't start out to be that way. Written, directed, and produced by Peter Walker, British director. Acc to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Walker_(director) , he had made films that fell under various categories in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, frequently using the same cast of characters.

    🔪 Unholy Secrets Unveiled - A Sinister 70s Thriller 💣

    Pete Walker's 1976 film "House of Mortal Sin" is a compelling, albeit flawed, entry into the British horror genre that is sure to leave viewers both intrigued and unsettled. This film offers a unique blend of suspense, mystery, and exploitation that is worth exploring for fans of the genre.

    "House of Mortal Sin" takes viewers on a disturbing journey into the dark corners of religious fanaticism and moral corruption. The narrative centers around a young woman, Jenny (played by Susan Penhaligon), who becomes entangled in a web of deceit and violence after witnessing a shocking confession in a Catholic church. The film's plot is engaging and filled with unexpected twists, making it a gripping watch despite its pacing issues.

    One of the film's strongest aspects is its exploration of religious hypocrisy and the destructive consequences of blind faith. Walker skillfully exposes the dark underbelly of the church, revealing a world of manipulation, abuse, and murder. The film's most chilling moments come from the unnerving performances of its cast, particularly Anthony Sharp as the sinister Father Meldrum and Sheila Keith as the ruthless Sister Gertrude.

    However, "House of Mortal Sin" is not without its faults. The film's low budget is evident in its production values, resulting in a somewhat dated and amateurish aesthetic. Additionally, the pacing can be uneven, with certain scenes dragging on unnecessarily while others feel rushed or underdeveloped. The film's exploitative elements, including graphic violence and nudity, may also be off-putting to some viewers.

    Despite these shortcomings, "House of Mortal Sin" remains a noteworthy addition to the British horror canon. The film's unsettling atmosphere and provocative themes make it a memorable watch, even if it doesn't always hit the mark. Walker's direction is confident and assured, demonstrating a clear vision and a willingness to take risks.

    In conclusion, "House of Mortal Sin" is a flawed yet fascinating film that offers a unique take on religious horror. While it may not appeal to all viewers due to its explicit content and uneven execution, those who appreciate a dark, thought-provoking thriller will find much to enjoy in this sinister tale of faith and corruption. Just be prepared for a few rough edges along the way.

    • Trivia
      Originally Peter Cushing was offered to play Father Xavier Meldrum and at the time there were some rumours that Cushing hated the script. In 1983, when Cushing acted in Walker's final film, The House of Long Shadows, Walker learned that Cushing actually liked the script, but had other film commitments.
    • Errores
      When Jenny is listening to records, the song that is playing is Joan Armatrading's "Visionary Mountains". The record that is playing is from RSO, a record company that never published Armatrading.
