Mario Bava, greatest Catholic filmmaker, never stopped drawing attention to Satan's wiles and that his ultimate tool is money. Beauty is truth, and truth beauty -- these films are beautiful and scary

Jean Rollin. Most Catholics would consider his films obscene though he is a spiritual giant. They should watch closely to see how the vampire-hunter can become the vampire ( a la Robespierre. )

Bresson. From now on, after the big three, these directors are flawed. Bresson is right to assert the primacy of death, and refuses to give false hope, but advocated suicide in Devil, Probably.

Martin Scorsese's flaw is that he thinks violence on the screen will deter people if shown in its true ugliness. Wrong. But he redeemed himself with the purest film about Christ.

Carl Theodor Dreyer. His films present opposing sides with an alluring mysticism that is dangerous. You have to watch all his films to understand the ultimate outpouring of love in Gertrud.

The idea of Satanism was never real to me, just goth and fun. Alucarda was an important step in my realization -- along with the reptilian activities of our "leaders" -- that Satan rules the planet.

Kubrick was a truth-seeker but not religious. His prophetic, disturbing films leave you in a state of doubt, despair and identity loss that can lead to nihilism or salvation. Careful!

Ah. Jacques Tati. After the darkness of these other films, it is nice to remind yourself of the joy and eternal childhood that awaits -- just remember, the balloon show will not happen here.
