Public service announcement: this is not a slasher movie. I entered into this movie 100% blind. To the filmmakers, actors etc. But I found it entertaining. Especially considering how low budget it is apparently. It is a well made, sincerely acted film. Kinda hilarious but also kinda gross, somewhat unexpectedly. Not really a horror movie, mostly comedy. Dark comedy but pretty funny and ultimately very dark. Not what I expected. Some real truth here though. Regarding human nature. Our broken society. The repulsive over-significance of Christmas in this broken ass society. The practical effects of drugs and alcohol. Love the cassette tapes, it was a nice touch. Kind of an anti-xmas movie. We need more of these.

After taking in a homeless man, a priest's invitation to have him stay during the holiday season descends into chaos when the homeless man and his girlfriend move in and turn his life upside down, sending him on a downward spiral that will test his faith like never before. Overall, this one had its moments, but it does fall flat at points. The main aspect of this one is the highly enjoyable sense of characterization that takes place here where the slow corruption that takes place becomes painfully obvious. Seeing how he starts off as the righteous and straightlaced preacher that tends to use religious anecdotes to genuinely help others and be a better person which becomes tested in the greatest tradition and sets things up nicely going forward. The comedic undertones present in the means through which they start to test his limits upon first arriving with their constant indulges in vice, tempting him through alcohol or debaucherous sex, and flat-out rejecting his pious designs on their lives that gives way to a frenetic and otherworldly second half where the extravagant visuals are utilized at their best point. That still doesn't save the film from having a rather slow and almost unworthy build up until that point where the film attempts to set him on this path of corruption through generally non-horrific means. With the majority of the focus here on their uncouth behavior with wanton language, alcohol use, sexual deviance, and otherwise just generally acting in as non-Christian of a manner as they can around him that causes the priest to slip into the muck with them, the horror tone is somewhat missing for the vast majority of these scenes with the attempts offering more of a comedy atmosphere. Considering how all of this comes across with very little interaction or change in tone, the potential is there for this to be a bland time without much let-up which thankfully is the only real issue with the film. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, sexual themes, and Violence.

A devout priest with a dwindling congregation is faced with a chance to put his words into action, when he finds a down and out man sleeping in one of the pews after mass. Sensing the priest to be a do-gooder, the man cons his way into his home, before having his girlfriend pretend to be pregnant, in order to do the same. However, their debaucherous lifestyle takes a toll on the poor priest, as they begin to gaslight, and attempt to blackmail him. This pushes him down a dark path, that has him leaving the people he has truly been helping behind, and hallucinating that he has manifested an evil presence into his life. Which is when things start to take a weird, almost psychedelic...and violent...turn. One from which there will be no going back. What starts out as a horror-comedy, of sorts, definitely ends off on a more dark angle. Despite the fact that they try to keep things light-hearted throughout. The concept explored here is really quite simple, yet well executed. With some really solid acting from all involved. While certainly not your typical Christmas themed horror film, it certainly is rather entertaining. With two of the five actors in the film, also playing roles in the equally entertaining Christmas Bloody Christmas. I'm not exactly sure what the relationship between the crews responsible for those two films is, but there certainly seems to be something there. Either way, however, this is certainly worth a watch if you are looking for a dark comedy to entertain you this Christmas. Perhaps make it a double feature. You won't be disappointed. 6 out of 10.

Totally blind I went into this flick due the fact that it was on the Bloody-Disguisting list as to see here surrounding Christmas. Is it a Christmas flick, well, Christmas is all around but no santa or otnher links towards Yuletide. This here is all about a priets helping people and in fact he does help one in particular by taking him home. From there on this flick turns into a psychological flick. Slowly the priest gets involved into the world of the one staying at his home. Psychological I said which means a lot of blah blah going on. Unfortunaly I'm not into blah blah movies but I myust say this independant flick did well and I stayed watching, must be the performances that attracted me. Even as it clock in under 90 minutes it takes over half the flick before things go wrong and even then it's the final that turns this one into a weird story. Well done on part of script but for me personally it was a heavy ride towards the end, due the blah blah. But I do understand that people who dig psychological flicks this is one to watch. I still don't know what really to think about this one. Strill, the flick was a leech for me. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5.

This was a very entertaining ride with great performances all around! The contrasting personalities of Father David and Terry created some hilarious moments and lots of great tension ("I was just crankin one out!"). I laughed out loud a lot during this! It was a hoot seeing Father David's slow descent into madness and depravity and him trying to save the souls of these two agents of chaos. I loved how Terry and Lexi become this corrupting force in his well-ordered life and bring it all crashing down. Father David's transformation throughout the film is fantastic. His unhinged rant at the midnight mass was a great scene. I loved how the film explored and twisted the theme of "help thy neighbor" in hilarious and dark ways. Overall this was a super entertaining blast of twisted Christmas cinema!

Father David (Graham Skipper, the director of Sequence Break) is a devout priest who has never missed a Mass, never eaten meat on a Good Friday and never misses the opportunity to speak on God's love, including when he invites Terry (Jeremy Gardner, the director of After Midnight and the man who told his mother not to watch this movie) and Lexi (Taylor Zaudtke, Gardner's real life wife) to stay during the holidays. It starts as a simple act of kindness and nothing can go wrong, right? But throw in a game of never have I ever, then have a good man -- in his head if perhaps not as much in his heart -- get tempted and things are ready to go off the rails. Director and writer Eric Pennycoff also made Sadistic Intentions, which starred Gardner and Zaudtke, and he puts together a movie with a small cast, a smart script and a mix of madness and black humor as the priest finds himself in a place -- and perhaps a position -- that he had never prepared for. I also loved Rigo Garay, who plays RIgo the organ player, perhaps the only character brave enough to tell Father David that he hasn't had a parishioner attend Mass in weeks and that he's just been giving sermons to an empty church. But if that's true, who are the prophetic -- and perhaps Satanic -- voices who come to confession? And what's with the young padre's frequent confessions of his own to that horrifying painting? There's an incredibe moment near the end where an off the deep end Father David throws on his vestment and rants on the altar while arguing with a red lit Terry -- or a vision of him -- before learning that -- and this is the biggest spoiler warning I can give -- that the real Terry has beaten his wife and snorted David's mother's ashes. I mean, this is a movie that has a priest with his head wrapped up straight out of Threads losing his mind and a last shot that will make you think long after the Christmas carol scored credits run out.

I like Jeremy Gardner. He is the director of two good horror movies, BATTERY (2012) and AFTER MIDNIGHT (2019). I like the later even more, even though it is not a traditional horror movie, it's weird, with offbeat comedic vibes. THE LEECH is even weirder. Acting is good. JG is a good actor, too. This movie kept my interest until the end. Slow to start but in the end, all hell breaks loose. I expected it to be funnier, i thought it was a comedy-horror. Whereas there are indeed some funny scenes, i wouldn't categorise it as comedy-horror. This is a strange indie horror movie, way darker than it seems at the start. I can't rate it higher because it made me feel uncomfortable and not in a good way. There are many movies that make you feel uncomfortable and i, usually, enjoy this feeling, but i didn't enjoy much this one. I can't explain it further because i don't wanna give a spoil. For sure, it was a hell of a ride, and if you wanna watch a really weird horror movie that does not hold back, you will probably enjoy it. I didn't, therefore, i can't recommend it.
