The rookie journalist Vivian seeks Frederick, the caretaker of the oldest cemetery in an undefined country, asking for an interview and the old man tells the story of two "costumers" and both connected by a mysterious secret. The powerful gangster Jimmie Levinson accuses his former partner Paul Pattuchi of stealing a load of cocaine and orders to kill his beloved girlfriend Clarice. Paul is found dead later in a cottage, and Jimmie and his friends and girlfriends are visited during a dinner party by Robert Downing first and then by the sadistic Mortimer and his partner Rick seeking the truth about Paul and a suitcase with a mysterious relic. The second story takes place in the Middle Ages, where the cruel David Deming and his minion Tom Brewster chase the renegade priest James Flynn in the name of the Inquisition but actually trying to force him to reveal the secret of the Eternal Heart to grant immortality.

This has the worst acting ever and some rather dull minded plot twists but it has a glorious amount of violence. While the violence is often a bit under rate.. there are several scenes that will make anyone that likes a good gorefest smile in satisfaction.I give the director props for going between several different styles of movie inside of one movie- we begin with a gangster sort of setting and before you know it, we are back in time...But no matter what time it is or where we are- there are several people either being brutally murdered or tortured- hey.. that's what happens in this flick, and that's why I like it- it's mildly comical to wait for the moment in the scene where they just say.. ah hell let's just kill everyone.PLOT: a woman interviews a cemetery caretaker about the history of a holy relic and the bloodbath it has caused in its' wake. Several violent scenes- poor editing and poor acting are made up for by a large amount of violence to the point of being darkly comical.Anyone that has had a bad thanksgiving dinner should go home and watch the first scene of this movie. :-) This is a great trash flick for a party or when you are under the influence at home looking for some senseless violence.There are also some medieval scenes w dungeons for peeps that dig that. This is like a well-budgeted student film that redeems itself by butchering lots of people well.

this film has to be seen to be believed!i was in tears of laughter yet pain at the same time if you imagine a bad cheap porn film script and then forget to add any sex in it what so ever then this is the film you would end up with. it even manages to change style completely half way through starting as a modern day gunfest and yet changing into a medieval swordfest without any explanation at all. a great film for watching with friends whilst drunk or lending to people you detest with every fibre of your body.absolutely the worst film i have ever endured.

okay the actors in the first story are clearly amatures but given motivations and content Ie - a reason to show graphic Ittenbach effects, I guess they were playing by numbers but the story and perfomances in the med-evil story are quite engaging - Darren Shalavi (I-Spy)is quite remarkable as the quite sorry Dennis who decides to use his impressive fighting abilities to defeat Brewster played with gusto by Rusell Friedenberg (Legion of the dead) and the evil lord Demming to save his love. the visual effects, graphic as they are compare on a higher level to Ittenbachs earlier work - Black past and Burning Moon and Premutos but this time using dual stories tied in by a beautiful reporter and graveyard caretaker tryiong to explain things for us, we get a more complex and anticipated story. the main problem with this film is that no matter how great Shalavi, Ittenbach and some of the rest of the cast are or not, as with the gangsters in the first story, the effects do add some craziness to the film and as with Ittenbachs last film Legion of the dead they will be cut from most releases as they ended up being here in Germany due to the increadable realism, so you get a diluted version which may not make to much sense. Heck though if you like gore and sword fights along with your torture this is the film for you, seek out the directors cut though.
