OMG! This is just...Jesus...where to start?
Take horrible actors, a horrible script and a horribly simplistic theology and you have Cataclysm. To call the performance's wooden is to call a redwood "kinetic". It was the 80's so maybe everybody was on 'ludes.
A devout Catholic surgeon, Claire, marries a Noble Prize winning atheist, James, who writes a book called "God is Dead." This arouses the interest of Satan (or Olivier as he's called here). Papini, a monk and Hagrid stand-in, runs around trying to stop James from being recruited by Satan.
Sparkling dialog commences:
Papini: I took the place of your priest! I told you to kill Olivier! Why didn't you do it?! Claire: I can't kill anyone. I'm a doctor!
And yet, at the end of the movie, there's Claire who, after trying to run over Satan with a car (whuh??) throws him in the trunk, takes him back to the hospital and, as he thrashes about on the operating table, proceeds in an OCD fashion, to cut out his heart so..........she can put it in the microwave. I say "OCD" because the woman who helps her get Satan into the OR suddenly begins stabbing Satan and is summarily slapped for doing so. Protocals in the OR MUST BE FOLLOWED or they mean nothing.
Neither does this movie.
