Guru the Mad Monk (1970) by Andy Milligan

Upon his return from England in 1970, Andy Milligan made a new movie in Manhattan to be shown with The Body Beneath, the second and last in an aborted series of films shot in England (he made more movies there for his usual producer, William Mishkin). In this one, Neil Flanagan stars as a priest running an island death camp. "What can be safer than a house of God?", he asks. When it's in an island death camp, one wonders. Milligan had a talent for making his villains somewhat sympathetic. He was not just another exploitation film maker. This one was shot in a church in Chelsea, Manhattan. Since this film was made the front doors have been painted a different colour.
