The House Of Mortal Sin. 1976.

A troubled young woman goes to confession and begins to be stalked by a sexually frustrated priest.

Another macabre dark atmospheric and twisted premise from Pete Walker with Anthony Sharp as Father Meldrum who uses his power of religion for abuse purposes and believes he is doing good and not evil. Susan Penhaligon plays the intended target, Stephanie Beacham as the loving sister and Norman Eshley as the newer priest and close friend.

I won't say this was a horror as such but more psychological chiller with a nod to the British Giallo genre, the kills are what we would expect from a 70s low budget but they are nicely done. Everyone certainly pulls their weight with the acting. May not be for everyone's taste but certainly worth a watch.
