Review of The Sect

The Sect (1991)
2/10
Proceed at your own risk.

As a director, Dario Argento may very well be a master of the horror genre. But as a screenwriter, he has already proved that, more often than not, he doesn't have a clue. The script he has co-written for "The Sect" is so awful that I am inclined to believe there wasn't any script to begin with - they were probably making it up as they went along. The movie is simply a series of disconnected scenes that were thrown together in the vain hope that they would form some sort of "plot". The result is a torturous piece of schlock that bored me to tears. This one should get 0 out of 4 stars, but I'll change it to 0.5 for the cool "face ripping" scene, and for the fun of seeing an aging Giovani Lombardo Radice in a minor role, ten years after "Cannibal Ferox". Still, it apparently has its fans so you may want to check it out for yourself....
