Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Boba_Fett1138 So basically, this movie is very bad! It's one cheap looking '70's Spanish attempt at the horror genre, in the same style as an Italian genre flick, from the same time period. It also means that the movie is probably more of a thriller/mystery than an horror really but quite frankly, who cares! It doesn't make the movie any better or more interesting to watch.And that's the movie its biggest problem; it just never becomes a good or interesting one to watch, with the exception of its last half hour maybe. But it's all far too late into this movie to safe it and consider it a recommendable one in any way. Guess that the only persons who will get some enjoyment out of this movie still, are the Eurotrash horror lovers. So people who like cheap looking, clumsily made flicks, with some naked girls in it.And that's also exactly how I took this movie, which is also the reason why I didn't rated it as poorly as you might expect. Within its genre it's just one of those typical movies, that really isn't any better or worse than the average genre attempt.Most people will probably still hate this movie way more than I did. This is also really due to the fact that there isn't a lot happening in its first hour and the movie mostly consists out of people staring or standing mysteriously in the corner somewhere. It's so ridicules and it also really gets annoying after a while.The story in its core and essence definitely had some potential in it but the director had clearly no idea how to handle it all and turn it into a good or interesting movie. Perhaps it's not fair to put all of the blame on the director though. I mean, the movie obviously didn't had an awful lot of peseta's to spend and neither the rest of the crew and its cast really had the talent to lift this movie to greater heights.All in all, really not a movie worth searching out.4/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
lazarillo This is actually more a Spanish horror movie than an Italian one (so it's really more "paella horror" than "spaghetti horror"). I'm sure there was probably Italian co-production money involved, and the cut I saw was obviously not a Spanish one (since it had some brief nudity). But most of the cast was Spanish except for the Austrian actress Krista Nell, who was usually relegated to supporting roles but acquits herself well here as the lead. She plays a woman whose sister has gone around the bend after accidentally becoming involved with a satanic cult, so for some reason she tries infiltrate the same cult with not much better results.As far as the plot goes, the movie is pretty weak. The directorial style doesn't begin to approach either the best Italian horror/gialli films or the British Hammer films, but it's not bad for early Spanish horror, and this is one of the few Spanish films that could actually be described as "psychedlic" in places (Spain's dictator at the time, Francisco Franco, had little use for the kind of decadence sweeping the rest of Europe that period, but, hey, if it's a bunch of satanists doing it. . .). The acting in general is unremarkable, but Nell and Teresa Gimpera, who plays the jealous girlfriend of the cult leader, are better than average. This is one of those movies I wouldn't look to hard for, but it's worth watching if you somehow run across it.
HumanoidOfFlesh "Feast of Satan" is a Spanish Gothic horror produced,co-written and starring Espartaco Santoni. He plays a wealthy doctor Tils Nescu,who is also the leader of sect devoted to the worship of an evil Hindu deity.Hilda Torres(stunningly beautiful Krista Nell)investigates when her sister is discovered in a terrified state.Traveling to the Spanish tourist resort of Marbella,Hilda becomes Nescu's most recent lover and will herself become his next victim."Feast of Satan" is a pretty average example of Eurohorror.The film offers only a little bit of atmosphere and there's very little nudity.Still the main reasons to see this somewhat obscure horror flick are Krista Nell and Teresa Gimpera,both incredibly alluring beauties.So if you're a fan of early 70's Spanish horror give this one a look.7 out of 10.
John Mclaren If you like Hammer horror flicks, you might like this Italian effort grounded in the same genre. Well- possibly.You know the formula: pretty girls in white dresses (esp Krista Nell), central casting bad guy in a dark cloak- and a gothic pile in which to set events.All pretty derivative, but done in a competent but generally unchallenging manner.If you want sleaze, then this is not for you. Some gore. Very little nudity. In fact very little "edge" at all. Saw mine on German DVD as "Tanz des Satans". No better in translation .....
