Father David is a devout priest, but his services remain empty. Because it's Christmas, he feels obliged to demonstrate his humility in a special way. Without further ado, David takes in homeless Terry at his home - the ultimate test of faith. Terry not only smokes, drinks and listens to loud heavy metal at night, no, he also lets his equally dissolute girlfriend Lexi move into the parish home without being asked. Has David brought the devil himself into the house?
Unwelcome house guests who don't want to leave have been around for a long time, and not just since ALF. THE LEECH, however, leaves the terrain of conventional comedy and shows itself darker, nastier and dirtier. As a pitch-black chamber play, to which nothing seems to be sacred. The US production takes us to the limits of charity and hospitality, as its characters cook up their very own sinful soup. THE LEECH is entertainment cinema of the nastiest kind, to which an open-minded audience can toast delightfully. Cheers!
