Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

MovieGuy01 I thought that Satan's Blood was a very good Spanish horror film. The film is about an urban couple living in Madrid, called Andy and Thelma, they leave their apartment for a day around the city. In Madrisd They meet another strange couple called Bruno and Anne, who invite them to their country estate. There is a bad storm in the evening, so they stay overnight. The couples have a bit of harmless fun with spirits by a Ouija board, but soon the past comes back to them. Thelma had an affair with Andy's brother, and Anne criticises Bruno over his attempted suicide. This is only the beginning of all the horrors that will haunts them, because they are a pair of psycopahic Satanists who like group sex and black magic. I found this film very disturbing to watch, but enjoyed most of the film.

MARIO GAUCI While not especially impressive (and possibly the least of the 6 Mondo Macabro titles I watched during the last few days), the film works because of its genuine eeriness and some undeniably effective moments: a portrait of Christ bursting into flames of its own accord; the equally unexplained (indeed irrelevant) presence of a devil-doll; the two nasty scenes in which the young couple surprises their Satanist hosts (with their backs to the camera) nibbling voraciously at something as if they were wild animals, which seems to be tied to the growling noises they make when aroused; the woman, who's also a medium, speaking on occasion with another deeper voice (most scary when the hero goes to check if she's really dead!). The film's pounding score is also notable.The plot offers nothing new for the most part, though the last third of the film descends unexpectedly into black comedy with the Satanist couple doing everything in their power - resorting even to faking their own suicides! - to stop their bewildered and frightened guests from leaving the sinister mansion (where the majority of the action takes place). The climax - relocating to the young couple's apartment building - bears strong traces of ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968), followed by a supernatural coda (actually a reprise of the incident which set the plot in motion to begin with!). Though the film features quite a bit of nudity (the two women are gorgeous, particularly the shapely and voluptuous blonde Satanist), it isn't any more graphic than your average 70s Euro-Horror; even so, SATAN'S BLOOD was awarded the "S" (for Sex, of course) Certificate by the newly-relaxed Spanish censor!Still, I was disappointed by the film's curiously drab look (considering the flamboyant subject matter) - which, however, seems to be synonymous with the latter phase of the "Euro-Cult" style; I felt this particularly strongly when comparing it to the vivid colors of SATANICO PANDEMONIUM, made four years earlier and which I had just watched the previous day! The accompanying featurette on the DVD - in which a high-ranking member of the Church of Satan takes the viewer through the genesis of the 'religion' and its 'doctrine' - is interesting for its very uniqueness, but comes off as somewhat condescending in the way it basically downplays the various activities usually associated with Satanism!

lazarillo I wouldn't have been surprised to find out that, Carlos Puerto, the obscure director of this Spanish horror semi-classic was actually a pseudonym for the more famous Spanish/English director Jose Larraz. Puerto is apparently a real guy, even though his film is eerily similar to many of those of Larraz with its plot of an innocent couple being lured to a remote house in the wilderness and being preyed on by a satanic coven of sexual degenerates.The good news though is that this tends to eerily resemble a good Larraz film like "Symptoms" or "Vampyres" rather than a bad Larraz film like "Whirlpool" or "Black Candles". The bad news is that this suffers from the same problem of many (especially latter-day) Larraz films and many other films of the post-Franco "destapa" period--the emphasis on softcore sex and gratuitous nudity at times brings the story to a complete standstill and threatens to overwhelm any suspense or tension the story has built up. Luckily though the film is fairly skillfully done and the acting is good (I don't know who any of these actors are, but they're better than almost anyone Larraz ever worked with).The ending is especially non-sensical even as far as Eurohorror goes, and dog lovers might not like the movie much, but it's still one of the better Spanish horror films I've seen from this period and the new DVD is widescreen and looks really good. Mirala!

christopher-underwood With Franco dead the Spanish could let rip and this one certainly goes at a pace. There are many sex and Satanism films that barely get round to either sex or Satanism, this one revels in it throughout. Just when it gets a bit silly towards the end, it gets very silly and builds to a great finale. In fact much of the film is really good, as well as almost constant bare flesh from the ladies and the gents there is blood and gore AND a really creepy atmosphere aided by the strange antics of the main protagonists. Whenever we see them in the deserted kitchen they seem bent over some dog bowl, and when they are in bed together they growl and pair like two animals. Granted an 'S' for sex certificate upon it's Spanish release and it certainly deserves it, though it also deserves a 'V' for violence and 'G' for gore. Excellent stuff - and not over long!
