Devil's Kiss

I love these atmospheric Euro thrillers from the '60s and '70s. The rich Gothic atmosphere, moody score, Foley'd sound effects, offbeat plots and quirky characters transport you from the daily hum-drum to a moody dreamworld where anything is possible."Devil's Kiss" is a great example - the film has all the intimacy one can only find in low budget movies, and older ones at that. The agonizingly tired "boy meets girl" plot-line is refreshingly absent. So are all the other hackney'd cliches.The blu ray is gorgeous and very filmic. They have preserved the original aspect ratio and kept the sound and picture clean but true to original intent. Watch it on your big screen, it's just like being back at the drive-in.Now all we need are some of the other classics on blu ray: Terror in the Crypt, Virgin of Nuremberg, The Blancheville Monster, Bloody Pit of Horror, Castle of the Living Dead, Blood Demon, The Mad Executioners, etc.

It was a good horror flic for the money

Not quite a total disaster but pretty close

Claire Gandler (Silvia Solar) and her cohort, "the Professor" use mad science and eeevil occult means in order to exact revenge on an unsuspecting Duke. They plan to re-animate the dead, and set out right away, digging up graves. Of course, beautiful women are in the castle, so female nudity erupts every few minutes. Will Claire and company create their satanic, killer zombie? If so, will anyone be able to control it? DEVIL'S KISS (aka: PRINT OF THE DEVIL) has every element that a schlock film fanatic wants. No expense has been spared in creating this masterwork! SEE the pre-credits voodoo dance! WITNESS the ultra-mod fashion show, featuring the latest in groovy, polyester attire! WATCH the resurrection of the hideous Franken-ghoul! HEAR the terror-ific organ music whenever anything even remotely dramatic happens! Wha? Oh, someone is taking off their clothes again. Has it been 5 minutes already?...

A seance , mad science experiments, and then murder in an elegant candle lit castle, adds up to a spooky good time.

If I may borrow from Joe Bob Briggs, this movie is rated 6 boobs, one bush and 3 butts. Alas, as a horror movie it is decidedly mediocre and only proves that satan's mignons are pretty stupid.

Boring.

This unusual , sexy and scary film haunted me for over a year after I caught up with it via Amazon Prime video . I finally broke down and bought a copy after reflecting back on Devil's Kiss subsequent to seeing and acquiring a couple of Rosalba Neri Italian horror films . Lady Frankenstein and The Devil's Wedding Night . I'm looking deeper into retro European horror films . If you enjoy(ed) the Neri film's like myself , I'd recommend you get a copy . Films for film collectors .

Very good horror film

Euro cinema from the 70's is usually interesting, either visually, thematically or just plain plummeting into weirdsville. More often than not an obscure auteur has no budget but has thrown in exploitation elements & has risen above the limitations of the arena. Regretably this obscure item may have been made out of some enthusiasm but im damn'd if i can detect much over a lonnnng 90mins, other than ineptitude.Inept acting, narrative, lighting & editing pace. Oh, and a cumbersome flimsy soundtrack. I could run on about the lack of anything interesting happening, but i really can't muster the energy, this film sapped me completely. The simple drawback of everything lit up in some of the worst 'modern' seventies style is bland & lacks atmosphere, which this sorry piece of plod seriously needed. The eccentric plotting throwing in a zombie, a lecherous oddball, & mesmerist & occultic satanist gal sounds fun when you type it. However, a lot of time is spent on women getting into bed, then out of them again, either lit or unlit depending on who has the larger frontage. The narrative lapses whenever skin isn't on display into a villainess explaining every damn'd plot point or unending spools of exposition, which seems amateurish and inept. Did i mention it was inept?..Try something more offbeat with a bit of panache or at least a bombardment of barmy, like Devil's Nightmare or Nude for Satan or even Satan's Blood, they may be oddly tacky but they have what this lacks cinematically, creating a compelling nostalgia for an era when cinema could actually surprise you beyond mere titilation & tainted exploitation.On the plus side this release comes with not only a reversible sleeve but a concise booklet. Quite a lot of effort for such a continental yawn.

Fast Shipping/Great Product! Definitely Recommended.
