The Church
Visionary Italian director Michele Soavi helmed this unique monster-fest five years before the release of his signature work, the apocalyptic Dellamorte Dellamore. The 1989 chiller finds a group of explorers trapped inside a demon-infested church rigged with devilish Rube Goldberg-like contraptions set to ensnare any unsuspecting trespassers. Feodor Chaliapin Jr., son of the opera-singing star of Pabst’s Don Quixote, has a supporting role as a bishop.
