24: House of Mortal Sin (w/ Rob Nevitt)

Episode 24 sees Andy and Mitch joined by filmmaker and director/lead programmer of Sheffield's Celluloid Screams Horror Film Festival (see Bonusode 2), Rob Nevitt.   His chosen film? House of Mortal Sin! Directed by legendary British filmmaker Pete Walker, 1976's House of Mortal Sin is Walker thumbing his nose at the Catholic church with a story that is equal parts horrifying, bleak, prescient and timely. The film stars Susan Penhaligon, Anthony Sharp, Norman Eshley, Stephanie Beacham, Sheila Keith and Andrew Sachs.  The synopsis is as follows:  Jenny visits the local Catholic church to have her confession is heard by the immoral Father Meldrum, who is perversely interested in her sex life. Rushing to escape his prying, she drops her apartment keys which Meldrum uses to invade her house and blackmail her by threatening to publish her recorded confession. Father Meldrum is looked after by his sinister housekeeper, Miss Brabazon and when Jenny's boyfriend Terry confronts Meldrum, he is attacked with incense and buried alive in the churchyard. Father Meldrum s standing in the community means that no one will suspect or accuse a man of the cloth; but in the meantime more people begin to die in mysterious ways through poisoned communion wafer and strangulation by rosary beads...  Please note that this podcast contains strong language and Scottish accents.  Remember, you can keep up to date with our news by following us via the usual social media outlets:  Facebook Twitter Instagram Plus you can drop us an email to [email protected].
