The Reverend is a 2011 horror film directed by Neil Jones.[1] It had its world premiere on October 7, 2011 at the Grimm Up North Film Festival and received a DVD release on 11 February 2014 through Level 33.[2] The story is a very loose retelling of the Book of Job.[3] The film had a predominantly negative reception.
An eager and nameless new priest is sent to a small village to serve as their resident priest, but he is unaware that he is the basis of a bet between the Almighty and the Withstander, with his soul as the prize. This bet is put into action when he is turned into a vampire. He then has to find a way to not only battle his craving for blood, but also rid the area of crime and save the life of the prostitute Tracy.
