Child of the Sabbat

About This Movie

Child of the Sabbat is a curious entry from 1989 that dives deep into the murky waters of child abduction and satanic rituals. The pacing is eerie, with a slow build that creates an unsettling atmosphere, amplified by its practical effects that weren't exactly polished but had a rawness to them. The story follows a Catholic Priest, who feels out of place as he navigates through this dark world, trying to uncover the mystery behind the comatose girl. The film's climax, featuring a verbatim Luciferian ritual, is a bold choice that adds to its unsettling tone. Performances might be uneven, yet the commitment of the actors draws you in. Overall, it's a peculiar blend of horror that lingers with you long after the credits roll.
