Plot
Judas is cursed for his sins to kill 666 people to regain his humanity, but he is forbidden human contact and has no corporeal body. He uses his slave, Eve, to kill for him. Every time Eve's blood is spilled, Judas emerges and forces Eve to kill. Despite being forced to commit heinous acts, Eve must dress like a girl because Judas mistook him for a girl when they first met. A professor later joins them.
Reception
