One of the wildest films I've ever seen, and I do try and hunt them down. Starts off quite sedately but just keeps getting madder until towards the end you worry that you might have lost your mind.

This pisses off the villain's spirit and he forces the priest to reincarnate him - only they can't find a suitable body.
