Summary: Weird but fascinating Euro-sleeze horror
Review: The sight of a woman in white gown spread open, running full frontal through the woods has got to be a good sign, coming as it does in Nude For Satan's opening moments.

On his way to a house call, racing down the highway in his VW bug, Doctor William Benson nearly has an accident as he sees the woman in white standing in the middle of the road. As he is recovering from his near miss, he hears a crash behind him. He finds a Mini with the woman inside injured, presumably for the same reason as he. He puts Susan in his car and goes for help. Note: how did he know her name later? He didn't go through her purse or anything that I could see.

He finds a castle and enters. The place is a deserted and decrepit place. He sees a painting of a woman, then finds that woman rushing to greet him. To his surprise, it's none other than the woman he rescued, except she calls him Peter. She's also more carefree and happy, and she ends up seducing him. She also spouts some puzzling words on memory and time: "What is memory but a fraction of time wrapped in the parentheses of the past?" Wow, sounds like dialogue from Dr. Who, Colin Baker era. And also, "The past is not in time anymore, and time is silence. There is no space here for memories--it's always now."

Meanwhile, Susan, apparently recovered, goes to the castle, where she is invited in by a mysterious man in black. He welcomes her in but there's a sinister air about him, as he momentarily undresses her with a glance of his eyes. A hallucination or no? She sees a painting of a man who looks like William, except he's dressed in 19th century clothes. She runs into him, and he not only calls her Evelyn, but acts like a buffoon. What's happening should be kind of obvious by now, adding the woman's mysterious words, and those of a book William finds: "The light is twofold, the way is only one. The essence of life is not in time. He who has made a pact with Him, belongs to Him."

The mysterious stranger says some words about life that are intriguing and true: "... an illusion, like life. We delude ourselves that we live, that we love, that we die. When we see our mistake, we prefer to ignore it. Then, everything becomes a nightmare." A nightmare is exactly what William and Susan go through once they figure out what's going on.

There's whippings, lesbian sex, and enough full frontal nudity. Rita Calderoni (Susan/Evelyn) also played a dual role in The Reincarnation Of Isabel as Laureen/Isabella, and we see more of her here than in Isabel. If this didn't have the skin and violence, this would make a great Dr. Who story. As it is, it's a piece of weird but fascinating Euro-horror, more coherent than The Reincarnation Of Isabel, and with a good puzzle for the viewer to figure out.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dosen't even deserve one star
Review: This movie was the worst movie i have ever seen by far! Not only were the camera angles and shots boring and annoying, but the ''story line'' was as intresting as licking dirt. These european women need to gain a bit of weight, i have never seen such scurvy looking women in my life. This movie is not worth a nickel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nude, Nude, Nude
Review: With the title of the movie, there is no doubt you will get to see nudity, but this film is much better than that. It is the best non-Jean Rollin film in the DVD Redemption line, and the only one in my collection other than the Rollin films.

Surreal, creepy, the lovely Rita Calderoni, in her most nude role, and all the campy goth and eerie locations and characters that a classic 70's sexploitation horror film should be. A classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No No No Please Dont Do That To Me
Review: Worship the Goat! Worship the Goat God!
This movie was a masterpiece! Orgy, Satan, a fascinating corpse.
It had it all. The only disappointment with this film is that Ben Gazzara did not star in it. He would of smoked from the pipe of the Minatuar. There was a scene of a young bloodlusted woman who entered The Golemn and met the beast.
Do You remember the Beast?
