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/
The_Void I'm a big fan of Euro horror and went into this one hoping for something along the lines of Sergio Martino's excellent paranoid Giallo All the Colours of the Dark, and came out of it severely disappointed. The plot focuses on Hilda Torres, a woman who decides to infiltrate a strange cult when her sister goes missing. She soon gets noticed by Tils Nescu; doctor and leader of the cult, and he has his own designs in Hilda. The film does look very nice and this is complimented by a cast featuring several nice looking ladies, but this doesn't cover up this film's main problem - that being that it's far too slow and the plot is completely uninteresting for most of the film. There's a hell of a lot of talking in the movie and it started to grind me down after a while. Usually with films like this, I can pick out a few good things to say about it; but Feast for Satan is seriously lacking in anything positive aside from the aforementioned good looking cinematography and actresses. There's a little twist at the end that doesn't really add much to the film and overall I feel safe in saying that even you're a fan of Euro horror, you can find something better to do with this part of your life.
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.
bensonmum2 I did something while watching Feast for the Devil that I rarely, if ever, do – I caught myself nodding off a couple of times. Why? It's dull. It's uneventful. It's pointless. It's not very good. Instead of Feast for the Devil, a better title might be Feast for the Insomniac.Usually these Euro-Gothic films work for me. I'm a fan. But there's so little to get excited about in Feast for the Devil that it never clicked with me. The story involves a Dr. Tills Nescu who has a bad habit of kidnapping and sacrificing young women. While that may sound like a good set-up for a movie, in all actuality, Dr. Nescu and a variety of unknown people spend most of the movie at parties on his boat. Not very Satanic, huh? The movie builds to the final scenes of Dr. Nescu performing his rituals to honor Satan. But as it turns out, Dr. Nescu is hardly the big bad servant of the Devil we've been led to believe throughout the movie. Instead, he's more of a servant of his dead mother. What a letdown!
