Moyen Âge. Accusés de servir le Diable, les habitants d’un village sont massacrés par des chevaliers. Afin d’enrayer la propagation du mal, une église est érigée sur le charnier. De nos jours, lors des travaux de restauration qu’elle dirige, Lisa découvre un parchemin dissimulé dans la paroi des sous-sols de l’église. Elle s’empresse d’en faire part à Ewald, le nouveau bibliothécaire. Imprégné des théories de l’alchimiste Fulcanelli, Ewald, bien résolu à percer le secret du parchemin, va, bien malgré lui, réveiller des forces obscures et malveillantes… qui bientôt vont se déchaîner en se propageant à tous ceux présents dans l’édifice. (Le Chat qui Fume)

The Church is a peculiar film that I think is somewhat underrated. It's an above-average horror flick with an intriguing plot development, but some scenes will easily stick in your memory – for instance, the copulation with the demon is unexpected and therefore evokes the right, eerie impression in you. The screenplay has its shortcomings, with empty spaces and peculiar characters, but it's still a horror that manages to scare and impress.

I’m not thrilled this time, The Church was only (slightly above) average. I liked several of the atmospheric scenes, but they occur quite randomly and the scary atmosphere never manages to cover the entire film. I also like the pretty original deaths, as well as the music, which in some places was great. Unlike others, though, I didn’t like at all the first part set in the Middle Ages, I’m not a fan of historical horror and wished it would end after 10 minutes. I can’t say I got bored, but the film never managed to capture my attention. 60%
