AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
amosduncan_2000 This is a stupid movie with a set up somewhat like the dumb fun of "Orgy of the Living Dead," with a bus and it's unlikely passages headed into real bad luck. A pointless prologue doesn't set up much, and you get the feeling they couldn't quite decide what this movie was about and may have turned it into a (very) soft core porn about halfway through. On the plus side, the middle section is funny in a so-bad-it's-good sort of way, with the terrible dubbing helping, but it can't sustain this. The House Butler telling the horrific story of each room to the hapless guests is the comic high point. Also, the guy who plays the devil does have a creepy vibe going on, something like Death in "The Seventh Seal." But you are likely to be more than ready for it to be over by the time we get to the end.
morrison-dylan-fan Gathering up Horror DVDs to list on Ebay,I spotted a Gothic Horror title starring Erica Blanc that my dad had recently picked up,which led to me getting ready to experience some devilish nightmares.Berlin 1945:As bombs fall around them,the wife of Baron von Rhoneberg dies in childbirth.Shortly after his wife dies,Rhoneberg kills their new born baby girl (talk about taking things easy for the viewer!)Years later:Planning to visit an erotic island,a group of tourists discover that they have missed the last cruise ship for the day.Searching round for a place to stay,the tourists run into a stranger on the road,who tells them that Rhoneberg may allow them to stay at his castle for the night.Met by Rhoneberg's butler Hans,they are invited in and shown to their bedrooms. Settling down,the tourists meet Rhoneberg over dinner,who decides to treat the guests to some folk tales involving his family,one of which claims that the family have made a deal with the devil,who turns the first Rhoneberg daughters into a Succubus.View on the film:Filmed in a real castle,director Jean Brismée and cinematographer André Goeffers lock the group in with tight winding shots,which along with displaying long corridors in the castle,also creates a smooth atmosphere of impending Gothic Horror doom.Whilst the camera goes a bit jumpy for the ghost/demon effects, Brismée makes up for it by treating the Succubus in a lavish manner,by matching the rotting special facial effects with a keen eye to show ever section of the Succubus naked flesh.Based around the 7 deadly sins,the screenplay by Pierre-Claude Garnier & Patrice Rhomm attempts to make each of the tourist a various sin.Whilst this idea does lead to some nice vicious deaths and a wonderfully jet-black comedic ending,the writers fail to connect any of the tourists to their particular sins,which leads to a long dry build up before the exposure of their original sins. Slithering across the screen, Erika Blanc gives a sizzling performance as Lisa Müller/the Succubus,thanks to Blanc making Lisa's nakedness being a powerful tool for dominance,as Lisa entwines herself around the tourists,and gives them all a devilish night.
ferbs54 From its opening, sepia-tinted prologue depicting a Nazi general committing infanticide in 1945 Berlin to its closing final scene of the Devil triumphant, Jean Brismee's "The Devil's Nightmare" (1971) is one fairly intense experience indeed. But the film tells a pretty simple story, really. A busload of tourists--a bickering couple, two very attractive lesbians, a crusty old man and a hunky seminarian--along with their gluttonous driver, are forced to spend the night at the von Rhoneberg castle, somewhere in Germany. Another guest soon arrives, an alluring redhead named Lisa, and she turns out to be a supersexy succubus who proceeds to slay the castle guests one by one, via any number of bizarre methods. Anyway, though usually termed "Eurotrash" by the critics, this film appealed to me very much, mainly due to its remarkable atmosphere and memorable score. The picture has been imaginatively shot utilizing odd camera angles and unusual settings, and Alessandro Alessandroni's background music is just fantastic. His "succubus theme" is at once creepy, haunting, lovely and beautiful, instantly engendering a mood of unease whenever it is played. I had greatly appreciated Alessandroni's contribution to 1978's "The Killer Nun," but his outre score here really is some kind of great work. It practically makes the picture all by itself. Just get a load of that scene near the film's end, with the creepy theme chant accompanying the Devil's pursuit of the seminarian into a church; beautifully done stuff! But let's not forget Erika Blanc in the lead role of Lisa. Although not what I would call overwhelmingly gorgeous, she certainly is supremely sexy, and not a little frightening when her succubus mug comes to the fore. Closing on a note of bleak irony, "The Devil's Nightmare" may just haunt your dreams as well....
Carlos_Lohan The movie is about seven tourists who must spend the night in a creepy castle, because of bad weather. There, the owner tells them that a family curse preys upon the mansion. In the middle of the night, when they're having dinner, a strange woman appears (Erika Blanc). And here's when the movie starts to get real good. Sorry, no more spoilers. Watch the movie by yourself to find out what's going on.This was a nice revelation! I wasn't really expecting much of it, but was pleasantly surprise. It's creepy and well made. The story is very original, the music is spectacular, there's a good amount of nudity as well (sorry, no Erika), and the steamy lesbian sequence is sure to please the sleaze crowd. The direction could have been better though (the camera work was sometimes too flashy and messy) and the acting (aside from the excellent Blanc) was very bad. A special mention deserves the excellent make-up Erika had when she played the succubus. Very well made and chilling.A nice piece of Euro horror that gets a 8/10 from me.
