Now this is something I can get behind. Dario Argento may have lost a step or two personally since his heyday ended around 1985 (I’ll go so far as 1987 with Opera) but the man could find and nurture talent, and one of the best was Michele Soavi. I was a huge fan of Stagefright, his earlier giallo, and everyone should go and check out the insanity of Dellamorte Dellamore (aka Cemetery Man). Now we’re here with The Sect, aka The Devil’s Daughter, and despite some significant parallels with last entry’s Humanoids From The Deep (this is basically a riff on Rosemary’s Baby) including a bizarre impregnation scene, everything about Soavi’s horror works like a disturbing dream. Does it make sense? Not really. Does it look tremendous? You bet – this thing has style to spare.
