Granted, "Prime Evil" isn't all that great, but it's taken fairly seriously, and played with a minimum of cheesiness. It stars Christine Moore, a beauty who's also not much of an actress, as womens' shelter employee Alexandra Parkman. She's targeted by a devil worshipping cult that have existed for centuries. Her dull boyfriend Bill King (Tim Gail) tries to make her see reason, but she falls under the spell of the cults' leader, Thomas Seaton (William Beckwith). Meanwhile, a young nun named Sister Angela (Mavis Harris) pretends to turn her back on the church in order to infiltrate this cult and attempt to bring them down.Veteran sexploitation legend Roberta Findlay directed, shot, and edited this minor horror item, which was scripted by Ed Kelleher and Harriette Vidal. It's got enough ingredients to make it decent horror fare: an ominous mood, fine use of locations (in this case, entirely in NYC), okay music (by producer Walter E. Sear), decent gore (by Ed French, who also created an amusing "Satan" for the film), attractive ladies, bare breasts, and the like. The cast is variable, but some actors come off fairly well, such as Max Jacobs as Alexandras' grandfather George, who because of his vows to Satan looks three decades younger than his actual age. Gary Warner is a little too goofy as the NYC detective on the case, but Beckwith is a fun villain; he's both seductive and coldly charismatic.There is a fair amount of dopey humour (for example, scenes in the gym with Alexandras' friend Brett (Amy Brentano), but it never gets too much in the way of a good time.At the very least, viewers can entertain themselves ogling such female cast members as Ruth Collins, Jeanne Marie, Roseanna Peterson, and the stunning Ms. Moore.Six out of 10.

A coven of devil-worshiping monks living in New York City search for relatives to serve as victims for their sacrificial ceremonies that can help them achieve immortality. Will they finally meet their doom in present-day (1980s) New York City? Dann Carr (Gary Warner), homicide, is awesome. "He was murdered last night." "Are you sure? I just saw him yesterday." "He's not breathing, he wouldn't talk to me. My guess is he's dead." Beyond that, I guess the film was just alright.People are bashing it, saying it is horrible and the rating is not very good on this title. Well, I am not going to say it is the best thing since corn dogs, but these people need to see more bad films. I have seen a lot worse than this...I liked the concept that a blood relation sacrificed would gain you thirteen years without aging, and to keep making sacrifices would keep you going indefinitely. But, I am curious, how close must a "blood relation" be? Once you move to third or fourth cousins, you could find hundreds or thousands of possible victims...

I got this movie in a collection of about twelve movies called "Gorehouse Greats". Funny thing is of the ones I have watched in it have been not all that gory. This one is also not all that gory, there is blood and lots of booby shots, but not a whole lot of gore. This one has a sect of devil worshipers living in modern day New York (at least I think it was New York). They perform sacrifices of blood relatives to Satan to stay nice and young, and they get bonus points if they are female and virgins. Meanwhile, a strange handyman is given a list and the next thing you know he is attacking a woman and her lover who is a rather clumsy kick boxer. Dude seems to knock out the handyman until the handyman teleports behind the dude and stabs him dead, then proceeds to kidnap the blond who offered no help during the scuffle. At this point the only thing worth seeing in the movie was the blond's boobs, and that is the theme of the movie. Boobs to see, not much plot to watch. I mean they show a sacrifice of a supposed virgin at the beginning of the film and it is supposedly the one guy's daughter, but she looked old enough to be the guys sister or something. Then a main gal's mother looks like she could be an older sister. Then a gal gets arrested for street walking and is said to be underage, if so being under 30 in New York must be underage. Then there is the boyfriend who raises objections over a certain priest as he kind of gets fresh with the main girl and it is obvious and the girl keeps going "Don't attack him" and stuff, though if I were the boyfriend I would have dumped the gal when she told me why she was hesitant about having sex as she had a bit to much baggage. I know it sounds kind of mean of me, but females dump men for being insecure and more inane reasons than what she had. If this review seems to be skipping around a bit I am just trying to be like the movie. You also have an undercover nun and two cops that looked like they were straight out of that Beastie Boys video Sabotage. So an all around bad effort, but they give you some boobs to look at and great lines like "Don't you wanna get poked?". I am not joking that line is in the film.

An ancient immortal band of Satan worshipers, who were once priests whom casted God away & killed their fellow priests who refused to join their shenanigans, have to appease their dark master by sacrificing their virgin kin every 13 years.Featuring a groan-inducingly bad 'big bad evil priest' & a vast assortment of other characters that you won't give two craps about, this stinker is a true chore to sit through. The occasional bare breast might keep you from falling asleep, but it's not nearly enough to keep you from losing all interest in the dreaded affair. Plus it has the worst hokey Satan puppet that I've seen in quite some time. Quite simply Prime Evil is simply Putrid.Eye Candy: Amy Brentano, Ruth Corrine Collins, Jeanne Marie & Miriam Zucker all get topless My Grade: F
