Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

An inexperienced priest is sent to find Father Williams. He finds him protecting sisters, one of whom is pregnant. They say that they have an evil brother, who is stalking them and that he has an evil, satanic plan for the unborn child. As the plot unfolds all is not what it seems.I watched this as part of the Catacomb of creepshows box set. This film was obviously shot on a very low budget. However I would recommend this as it kept my interest through out. For an obvious amateur production I found the overall look and composition of the shots more than expectable. Admittedly, there is very little action and the whole thing is quite wordy. but I found the story engaged me and there are a few twists, that I did not expect. I did find the character of Father Williams odd and really not very priest like at all, swearing and cussing, rather like a character from an old spaghetti western !! It's good to have a film that relies on it's story rather than gore to sustain it's running time.

A little slow moving perhaps but certainly better written than most no budget movies. Jason Maran did a more than competent job of directing, especially on this kind of budget. Music was very good but then we expect that from J.S. Bach. I was impressed that they chose to go with the classics rather than another raunchy homemade death metal wannabe soundtrack. Acting was hit or miss, though Claude was pretty good and Father William was a hoot. Maria and Marisa were a little deadpan but perhaps that was intentional. Christopher was over the top, but again, perhaps that was intentional as well. It was well photographed for the most part though I wasn't especially impressed with the washed out look of the exterior daylight scenes. The sound had a couple of areas where it sounded like it was from an on camera mic but for the most part it was not bad. Editing was decent. As I mentioned, it was a little slow paced, but kudos for length. Most micro budget filmmakers seem to think that more is better and refuse to cut anything out of their masterpiece but this came in at under 100 minutes. Yes, a few more minutes could have disappeared but overall not a bad effort at all.

Sometimes you just have to have patients when watching indie horror. If you can just toe-tap your way through the slow-paced early scenes, sometimes a real gem will present itself... This (unfortunately) was not the case with "Satan's Whip".Written and directed by Jason Maran, "Satan's Whip" attempts to drag us along on a boring snore-fest of a film, with no real pay off at the end. I'm guessing that the black & white (and blue) cinematography must have been for a reason, however it is never explained why the majority of the blood is blue, and I found this increasingly annoying as the film went on. The story in itself is not that bad, and actually had some originality and decent content but the acting is simply pathetic. This, combined with the slow-pacing and lack of any real (red) gore made "Satan's Whip" one to forget quite quickly. I will give it a "4" rating for some witty dialog that made me chuckle, but alas that could not save this boring waste of my time.

Just saw this movie yesterday night and I almost cried. No, it wasn't because it got me utterly petrified, no. It was absolutely HORRENDOUS! Sometimes, you see movies that make you wonder what will become of the human race in the near future - this movie is one of those. It's as though the writer, actors, director, et al, just came together and copied and pasted scenes of their favorite horror flicks, zipped it all together and said "hey, here's Satan's whip!!!" After seeing this movie, I could not help but be tormented by the sight of people whom call themselves "actors"; waltzing around like they're some kind of talented artistic interpreters... do not be fooled they suck! Don't bother wasting your time or money!!!
