****SPOILERS**** Off the wall but still very watchable, because of the films unintentional humor, horror movie that has to do with a future virgin bride of Satan, or Asterof as he's called here, Jennifer Gordon( Elyssa Davelous) who's in danger of losing her way by falling in love, and thus losing her virginity, with a mare mortal the handsome and not taking no for an answer Andy Stuart, Dack Rambo.
Were given a prologue in the film with a scene that takes place in New York City back in 1955 with this what seems like a very disturbed woman, Jenny O'Hara, going through labor and giving birth to what turned out to be Jennifer Gordon. Within minutes of giving birth the woman is killed as she falls down a flight of stairs when she's attacked by a black cat! This mysterious feline shows up in the movie, being responsible for at least two more deaths, a number of times including the films surprise ending.
It's now 22 years later and in the city of San Francisco that we see Jennifer working at a boutique and then running into Andy Stuart who ran his van into Jennifer's parked car. Romance blossoms between the two star-struck lovers until Andy takes Jennifer out for a ride, on horses, and is attacked by the same black cat that attacked and killed her mother at the start of the film. This time around the black Cat killed, by causing him to be trampled to death, one of the Satanists a Mr. Brown, Richard Stahl, who's assigned to look after Jeniffer's safety.
Having absolutely no clue in what he got himself into Andy goes to a local church and asks the preacher Father Wheatley, John Harkins, to marry him and Jennifer as soon as possible. It turns out that Father Weathley is on to who Jennifer really is, The Bride of Satan! Father Weathley not only refuses to marry Jennifer and Andy but if fact tells Andy to get help by having Jennifer exorcised by his fellow Catholic Priest and exorcist expert Father Kemschler, Dan O'Herlihy.
Things really start to get wild when Jennifer realized that she's been groomed to be Satan's Bride and breaks up with the by now totally confused Andy. Andy himself soon sees how wrong he was in not taking Father Wheatley advice when he goes to his church finding the place ransacked with Father Weatley both dead and hanging from the church's bell tower! The movie then takes a totally different turn, with an entirely new storyline, in what the Devil and his secretive followers are really up to.
Andy now knowing what he has to do after he read a story about a child being possessed by the Devil in the local newspaper and rushes down to New Orleans. It's there where not only the child Cindy Isley, Natasha Ryan, is hospitalized after she was attacked by our old friend the black cat but her divorced mother Linday Isley, Kim Cattrall, just happened to be an old friend, or lover, of Andy! What a small world!
The ending is about as good if not even better then you would have expected it to be with Father Kemschler coming out of his corner swinging punches at the Devil in an effort to save Cindy's soul as well as her life. With Cindy's bedroom in total chaos with books chairs tables and toys flying in all directions, as well as what seems like elephants trumpeting in the background, Father Kemscher has a life and death struggle with the Devil himself who's disguised as a pillow!
It's then that what seems like the head honcho of the Sanatic cult Rimmin, Richard Lynch, involved with Jennifer, who by then completely disappeared from the movie,calls it quits and goes off looking for another candidate, a new bride, for his master Satan. That's if his master decides to give Rimmin another chance to redeem himself! ****SPOILER****The film ends with the threat of a sequel in that the very annoying and deadly black cat pops up again but now after thirty years that threat can finally be discounted.
