Review of The Devil's Nightmare (1971) by Leia C — 27 Aug 2007

Those crazy Italians. This movie starts off with a WWII German army officer ordering his newborn child killed upon finding out it's a girl. Misogyny much? We later find out it's because firstborn daughters in his family grow up to be succubi.

Some years later, a group of tourists--seven of them, to represent the seven deadly sins--stops by this guy's castle, among them a philandering husband and his shrewish, greedy wife, a couple of young women who provide an excuse for a rather tame lesbian sex scene, and a rather attractive young priest with the emotional range of a block of wood.

There's also a mysterious woman wandering around who has a tendency to turn into a demon, in this case represented by extremely unflattering makeup, and a Death/Satan figure who's a skinny bald guy with prominent front teeth.

Featuring a terrific theme song that could only come out of the Eurotrash late '60s.
