The
cult filmmaker made over 200 films, editing, cutting, and repurposing
movies to fit current demands and The Sadist of Notre Dame, as it had its beginnings as Exorcism and then as Sexorcism —
complete with a nude woman on an upside down cross — is no different.
Despite horrendous reviews, word about the
movie's awfulness spread around Los Angeles and the film quickly became a
cult classic,
complete with Rocky Horror-esque traditions at midnight screenings.
