IN 1815 A MONK, TOMAS ALCALA, UNWITTINGLY UNLEASHES TWO FEMALESUCCUBI, MUNKAR AND NAKIR, UPON AN UNSUSPECTING 21ST CENTURY. HEIS CHOSEN BY GOD TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE CENTURIES AND STOP THE DEMONS' RAMPAGE.
"Very well done scifi channel miniseries, probably one of there best. This is about a couple of monks during the middle ages who's curiousity gets the best of them and they set out two succubi. They use this ancient "Wheel of time" (take that Robert Jordan, you suck) and travel to modern day new york. One of the monks follow, to stop the two.
The two succubi go on there feeding spree, flaunting their sexiness around as to get men, satisfy their needs, and then feed on them. The monk gets caught up in the investigation of these murders and becomes a suspect. He befriends and female officer and they st out to find these deomic women.
This movie is so fun to watch and pretty suspensful at times. Clive Barker regains his movie strength by making this excellent, one of a kind movie."
Outstanding and creepy horror flick!

"I was really excited to see that this movie would finally be released on DVD. Based on a story by horror great Clive Barker, it's about a monk in olden times who accidentally releases two demon-like succubi. The two succubi travel to present day and start feasting! The monk and a cop team up to fight the demons. There's a truly terrifying child birth scene and lots of gore -- but it's also more reflective than most horror movies. What does it mean to be a "saint"? Can someone who sins also be a saint? Surprisingly good acting, particularly from leads Greg Serano and Gina Ravera. The cigarette-smoking man from X Files pops up as well. It's filmed quite well, and although it's a lower-budget movie, it doesn't *look* low-budget. Interesting to watch with lots of good visuals. Highly recommended!"
A PRETTY GOOD MOVIE!

"I just purchased this film yesterday on the basis that there is Clive Barker commentary in it, yet I was definitely not disappointed by the film.I had read about the film in Fangoria about 2 years ago, and currently saw it at the video shop, but then I forgot about it, until I saw it the other day to buy, which I did.
The whole film was very intersting and shot pretty cooly. The whole way watching it from the moment it starts, I was intrigued. All the actors were very good.
This film will have to be seen to be believed. A must see for any horror fan."
Kick ass tv to dvd movie

"A year or two ago, this movie was slated to air on the Scifi chanel... i was very excited, since it was produced by horror legend Clive Barker. I never thought that this would release to the public, since it was a tv low budget movie, but I guess I was wrong. Anyways, its about a stupid ass monk that releases 2 succubi. Gore happens almost right away, with a fellow monk getting his arm ripped off... So the monk, after releasing the demons, decides to track them down. He teams up with a cop investigating brutal murders. The two track down the succubi, and well, the story lauches from there... All I can say is this is a badass movie, and I know I'll be in line when it release to by it

What's that stink?

"Saint Sinner was, in a word: awful. Terrible, terrible script. Lackluster direction with no style (except for one neat scene in an interrogation room). Lots of stuff that was either stupid (a murder on a crowded Ferris Wheel in broad daylight that the people in the seat *two feet behind* the bad guys just somehow didn't notice) or nonsensical/unexplained (at one point a giant mutating maggot plays an important plot point, then literally disappears and is never talked of again). All this plus your usual Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie level of production. I also have to say that it if you are going to make a movie about a pair of murderous succubi, it hurts to not have any nudity.
When they got the rights to this story, they should have lavished some funds on it. The story idea is pretty decent. They could have had a potential film franchise or series on their hands. Instead, I fell asleep during the last ten minutes of the movie and couldn't be bothered to watch it again.
I know Clive Barker didn't much care for his old comic series Saint Sinner, but what I remember of it is ten times better than this completely unrelated except by name movie."
