In this demonic horror film, a demon transforms into a beautiful woman to tempt a pious priest into lust and sin, never letting up on the poor priest in a merciless attempt at carnal seduction, and then drags the priest into hell when he gives in to the temptation and breaks his vow of celibacy. But once in hell together, the priest begins nagging the demon for sex, saying things like: “Come on! You got me all hot for you; you can’t just leave me like that. It’s bad for my health.” (And on and on: you know, all the stuff guys say to try to manipulate people into sleeping with them when they don’t want to.) And when the demon says: “I just did what I did to get your soul damned to hell; I’m not actually interested in you or attracted to you, so please leave me alone,” the priest says: “You know you want it!” (Etc.) And so the demon leaves hell to try to tempt other mortals into sin and damnation, but the priest keeps calling and harassing the demon for sex on the phone night and day. And so the demon goes to Satan, complaining about all the sexual harassment the clingy priest is subjecting it to, but Satan says: “You made your bed, and now you’re going to lie in it: with him!” And so now it’s the demon who is damned to an eternity of suffering, in bed with a horny priest. (Demons have to lose in these movies.)
(BTW: The early part of this piece was inspired by the movie The Unholy, a great silly demonic horror movie from 1988 starring Ben Cross, Hal Holbrook, Ned Beatty, and in one of his last (and possibly greatest) roles, Trevor Howard. (< No, really; he’s in it.)
