Buxom European women of all hair colors get their day in the T&A world of Satanic subterfuge, a Nosferatu-like demon and the explanation of what a succubus is. A carload of travelers spend the night in the castle of an aging former Nazi officer who once murdered his newborn baby girl because of a family curse. Among the travelers is a priest who has not taken his final vows, and becomes the lustful target of the demon's evil plot. Quicksand, be-headings, spike-filled torture chambers and giant snakes are just a few of the demonic tools utilized by Bealzebub to gather souls which leads to an offer he can't refuse by the virginal priest-to-be.

Some of the shocks come fast and furious, others are downright spooky, while the sexual antics (some containing very lesbian activities) are as frequent as the horrifying demises. Visually, minus the over-abundance of female breasts and buttocks, this is quite a treat for the eye, impressively dubbed into English. Heterosexual men might find a fetish thrill with the gorgeous women involved in lesbian pleasure, but horror fans will be bored. Fortunately, the fast forward button will take care of those tedious moments to get right back to the macabre. The very buxom succubus who does appear is made up to look appropriately demonic, with evil looking eyes and red-tinted skin that almost makes her appear to be undead as well as a tool of the prince of darkness. Like other European trash horror films, it's certainly not brilliant cinema, but enjoyable in spite of the implausibilities.

Wow...get a load of the opening titles. The film company must have spent at least 75 cents to get these done! Heck, most YouTube videos have much better production values! Fortunately the rest of the film looked a lot better.

This film is about a group of seven travelers who represent the seven deadly sins all being killed off by a demonic succubus. While that's bad, at least the folks all have a good time before being sent to Hell. It all starts when a tour group is stranded and is forced to seek shelter in a creepy mansion owned by a Baron. Once there, two hot members of the party take a quick break for some gratuitous hot lesbian sex. While probably considered soft-core today, back in 1971 this was very hot and I am surprised the film received an R rating. I always thought it odd that there are so many Italian horror films that mix porn with horror--it must have been a very popular genre back in the 1970s. It's not really a style of film I like to rent--it just looked like a normal everyday horror film from its description on Netflix. Is there anything to it other than just a convenient excuse for some skin? Well, at times no--there is more gratuitous nudity here and there--including a weird but very sexy succubus. But at other times the film does a great job of capturing the mood--it is scary and very well-crafted and didn't need all the nudity to be worth seeing--even if many of the characters are one-dimensional and silly. It's not exactly film to show your kids or mother-in-law--that's for sure! I'd give a 5--it has its moments but all the nudity seems irrelevant and the film's quality varies wildly at times--from wonderful to cheesy.
