Review – Saint Sinner

I could see the elements of what could have been a good story buried deep under the crap that infects this picture. A tag team of vicious succubae wreaking seamy havoc on mankind is classic Clive Barker. But the effects are bad. The script is weak, full of characters and subplots that could easily have been replaced with a few good scares. The whole time-travelling monk thing was likewise bad as a main story line, a bit too Warlock to work in this context. Once again a Barker-based movie falls short of the source material. Indeed, the closest it comes to entertaining are the occasional sub-references to other Barker pictures (such as the background voice in the county lockup scene yelling the “get them off me!” line from Hellraiser 2). Mildly amusing
