Born in 1931, Anthony Sharp emerged from London's vibrant theater scene to make his mark in cult cinema. He is known for his roles in Die Screaming Marianne (1971) and A Clockwork Orange (1971), where he brings an unsettling intensity to his characters. Sharp's performances in Wicked as They Come (1956) and House of Mortal Sin (1976) further solidify his presence in the realm of exploitation and giallo films. His ability to navigate the darker themes of these genres makes him a noteworthy figure in the SassyFlix catalog.
House of Mortal Sin
Troubled young Jenny (Susan Penhaligon) enters the confessional of her local church, and bares her soul to elderly priest Father Meldrum (Anthony Sharp). Apparently obsessed with her, Meldrum begins to stalk the distressed Jenny and blackmail her with a tape recording of her confession. Seeing himself as the dispenser of "divine justice", Meldrum tortures his victims with guilt, murdering those in his way with such diverse means as incense burners and poisoned holy wafers.
