    If you know the director, you know what to expect. If Robocop meets Black Narcissus sounds up your alley, you’ll have good fun. If you think that people of the cloth are all celibate, steer clear.

    Apple puts on X rated movies now. Well, no — just when one undermines Christianity. Showgirls isn’t on here, and demand is much higher, same director.
  • Fantastic

    TL:DR If you are a fairly religious person don’t watch. If you live your life by religious dogma this movie will likely anger you. If you are like me and do not, you stand a chance of enjoying what is offered here.
  • Fake

    deserves 0 stars...... just garbage. NOT artsy, or daring, as the critics suggest. Starting to realize that if critics praise a movie for being such, it's a pretty good bet that the result is crap
  • Absolutely mind blowing

    Very interesting. Super extreme imagery and graphic violence. Just a heads up for those who avoid that kind of content.. Definitely worth a watch though. I couldn’t turn away.
  • Disgusting and disgraceful

    Blasphemy and sacrilege, with depraved minds and perverts, this insult cannot be glorified as art nor film. This is just a cash grab on a cheap attempt to resurrect a depraved pervert mind of an 80s director which happens to be 83 years old. This is simply designed to insult a group's beliefs and then ride the wave of fake 'controversy' it generates for press.
  • They think this is edgy in 2021, lol.
