Come and Be Purified (1973)
** (out of 4)
Father Sexus (Jamie Gillis) hosts a group of people who are full of their religious beliefs. The Father plans on teaching them that there's nothing wrong with some sex.
Shaun Costello directed a number of hardcore films during his career and a lot of them were shot in less than a day. Apparentlly COME AND BE PURIFIED was one of them and you can tell that there wasn't too much thought or anything else put into this picture. In all honesty, it almost feels as if a theater owner went to Costello on a Thursday and told him that they needed a movie by Friday night.
COME AND BE PURIFIED is mildly entertaining if you're into these low-budget 70's porno movies but there's certainly nothing special here. Obviously if you're a religious person you might be offended by some of the fun that is had with the subject but in all honesty I didn't find too much of it to be funny. Gillis was good in the lead role but he's not given enough to do to make it a more memorable character.
