Some Teutonic Knights decide to expell some "Texas Justice" to a village suspected of heresy. The dead bodies are all piled up, buried, and extremely blessed. A church is erected on the gravesite.

Best Lines

Evan - "It's my first day and I'm already late."
Bishop - "It's your first day and you're already late. Not a good start."

Man at Work - "Judging by the sound of the drill, I'd say there's a, there's a cave under here, a big one."

Evan - "Let's get out of here. I'm seeing visions after counting all of those books."
Lisa - "Visions of burning sinners and devils with pitchforks, I suppose?"
Evan - "Why not angels laying down some great harp with angels dancing in ectasy?"

Reverend - "The world is the Devil's. The world is the Devil's. In other words, the world identifies itself with the Devil."

Lisa - "I'm gonna draw a shower. Amuse yourself while I'm gone."

Old woman - "Quite a event and what's he looking at?"

Any conversation between the old couple.

Final Verdict
Fans of Euro-horror or Sovai and Argento might *key word: might* like it. Maybe those who have seen Demons 1 and 2 as well. Other than that, it's really for acquired tastes only.
