Devil's
Nightmare, The (1971)
Can
You Be Possessed By The Devil?
A group
of tourists, each representing one of the seven deadly sins,
spend a terror filled evening in a castle previously owned
by a man who made a pact with Satan. Is Satan willing to spare
their souls? You might have seen The Devil's Nightmare
one late night on a movie channel. This is a seventies European
horror classic (Eurotrash) at its campiest best. The music
is in the haunting seventies style with the classic female
shrieking songs. The first time you hear it you know you are
in for a cheesy good time.
Again,
The Devil's Nightmare is about seven tourists who
get stuck at an old castle for the night. Their host is a
baron / alchemist with a disturbing history and legacy. His
family is cursed, and each room in the castle has seen a gruesome
murder or two through the centuries. Seventies Eurotrash icon
Erika Blanc plays a succubus (a devil's handmaiden) who helps
each tourists by seducing them with their favorite deadly
sin. Is it all a dream? Did it all really happen? The only
hope seems to be a priest who is able to resist the succubus
temptations. A great twist ending and of course, the 'token'
lesbian scene make this a Eurotrash classic.
