Pete Walker's Most Controversial Motion Picture

     

also known as: THE CONFESSIONAL

director: Pete Walker
starring Anthony Sharp · Susan Penhaligon · Stephanie Beacham · Norman Eshley · Shelia Keith

     

In this uncompromising attack upon the Catholic Church, Pete Walker tells the story of Jenny Welch, troubled young girl goes to confession at Sacred Heart church. Unfortunately - this time - her confessor is Father Meldrum, a sexually frustrated priest who even secretly records juicier confessions for his later private enjoyment. Father Meldrum becomes obsessed with Jenny and begins stalking her. He soon stops at nothing - including blackmail and murder - to possess her.
   Pete Walker was the best known horror director in England. HOUSE OF WHIPCORD, DIE SCREAMING MARIANNE and FLESH AND BLOOD SHOW are also among his most successful. Due to constant censorship problems (this particular film had an especially difficult time with distribution), Pete became weary of the Industry and retired in 1983. Today he lives in Sussex where he works as a land developer and operates a chain of theaters.
