Hey listen, I was thinking about this Father Sexus that I was telling you about the other night.

Warning: Spoilers
How's this for an exceptionally edgy and controversial premise: Charlattan priest Father Sexus (marvelously played with lip-smacking naughty relish by the legendary Jamie Gillis) encourages devoutly religious folks to shed their inhibitions and happily participate in assorted carnal activities of licentious delight. Director Shaun Costello deserves major mad props for the incredibly cheeky audacity of the story alone; one can't help but be amused and impressed by the cheerful nose-thumbing brazenness of this particular picture. Of course, we also get the customary explicit presentation of such hardcore standbys as fellatio, cunnilingus, lesbianism, and straight copulation, but it's Costello's uproariously offensive sense of giddy irreverent humor that in turn makes this movie one immensely gut-busting riot to behold (a hysterical philosophical debate on wants and needs is simply sidesplitting). Better still, Gillis portrays his juicy lead role with considerable raffish glee and gusto, Costello acquits himself well as Sexus' assistant Brother Francis, and yummy redhead Erica Eaton positively sizzles as the enticing Miss Divine. The fitting use of organ music further enhances the infectiously sinful frivolity. The cinematography is rough, but acceptable, with lots of extremely graphic and leering close-ups of certain parts of the male and female anatomy. The surprise ending is a real dilly. A gloriously brash and blasphemous hoot.

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.
