The Bastard Love Child Of…Blade and Diary of A Country Priest!
Fresh from seminary school, a new Reverend is assigned his first parish – a small Chapel in a seemingly idyllic country village… but appearances can be deceptive.
Something very sinister is lurking beneath the smooth façade of a local businessman and then, one rainy night, a mysterious girl visits the reverend at the chapel. He offers shelter and sanctuary, but she proves to have other needs. Waking the next morning with an unknown, uncontrollable thirst and bite marks on his neck, the confused Reverend embarks on his vocation to clean up the village – by preaching or by feasting…
Grimm’s Eye View: With an eccentric all-star cast including screen legend Rutger Hauer as an avenging vampire priest, our old friend Doug Bradley (guest of honour at the first ever Grimm Up North), sultry British horror icon Emily Booth and Eastenders’ Shane Ritchie, we really don’t see how this one can fail!
