A Catholic priest uses his position to blackmail young girls. Lovely Susan Penhaligon ends up in his confessional one day and becomes his next victim. She is having problems with her boyfriend, so the priest murders him by throwing hot coffee on his face and burying the body in the churchyard. She goes to the police but nobody believes her and she is sedated by her doctors. The mother of a previous victim tries to help, but the priest finds out and murders her with a poisoned host in church. He uses an incense burner and rosary to commit other murders. The priest's private life with his aging mother and sadistic ex-girlfriend is melodramatic and there is an unsatisfactory ending. Pete Walker has made some good horror-tinged thrillers, but this is not one of them.
