A spree of grisly murders is perpetrated in Frankfurt by a group of Satan worshippers. A school teacher almost runs over an old man with a box and takes him in. It's no accident that the old man has come into her life, and it quickly becomes apparent that he has plans for her, plans that involve a permanent future with the Satanic cult. (Music Box Films)

Very unsettling, really (the moment bugs start crawling into somebody’s body orifices, the gloves are off!), and atmospheric and disgusting at times, but as a whole, it looks terribly choppy, incoherent and unfocused. Disappointment.

The Sect suffers from the shortcoming that Michele Soavi wanted to make a really big film that would be truly terrifying and would reference the atmosphere of classic Italian films in terms of their horror. However, he failed to build on Bava because the film just doesn't work as a whole. It crumbles in the hands of the creators in many parts, which individually come out quite well, but together they are too shapeless. The film won't blow you away, which is a shame because there was definitely potential here.
