You Are The Devil And You Are Bad!

 

 (themoviedatabase)

PRIME EVIL-1988-A 15th century monk renounces God for Satan and kills the monks who disagree with him. In the present, a group of devil worshipers, led by Tom (William Beckwith), sacrifice the daughter of one of their members. Then a bishop and a nun have a discussion about how the nun was almost a human sacrifice when she was a girl. They agree she (Mavis Harris) should go under-cover and join the evil cult. 

Meanwhile, Cathy (Ruth Collins), an ex-junkie/hooker has sex with her new boyfriend, Sam. A psycho maintenance man breaks in, kills Sam (despite him knowing martial arts) and kidnaps the woman for the cult. Then Cathy's social worker, Alex (Christine Moore) tells her boyfriend the reason she won't have sex with him is that her father used her in porno films when she was a child. A stupid cop (Glen James) investigates Sam's murder. Unfortunately, Alex's grandfather plans on giving her to the cult for a sacrifice. During a black mass orgy, a toy monster shows up and the nun kills it. Everyone turns old but Tom gets away. The acting is bad. 

Roberta Findlay was a so-so director but she was also the Director of Photography and she excelled at that so despite all its flaws, it doesn't look bad. One of the writers, Ed Kelleher also wrote INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS (1972) and SHRIEK OF THE MUTILATED (1974).

Filmed in NYC

 

 (imdb)

THE ORACLE-1986-New tenant Jennifer (Caroline Capers Powers) finds a spirit writing planchet. When she and her dick head husband (Roger Neil) and two friends use it, they seem to unleash the spirit of a dead man. A stupid janitor stabs himself to death and her hubby gets his head ripped off. Meanwhile, two thugs try to kill her because in a vision she saw them kill the dead guy. Jennifer is committed to some kind of mental hospital. She escapes but is captured by the dead man's wife and a butch hit woman. Horrible drawn-out junk with bad acting and cheap gory SFX. Filmed in NYC by Roberta Findlay (also the uncredited cinematographer).
