Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
kosmasp ... than this has a lot of Horror in it! Like almost way too much of it. Full frontal and everything. There is no explicit intercourse being shown, but other than that it feels like at least 50% of the movie plays in the nude. A lot of women who may not be able to convince you of their characters motivation, but seem to be able to convince others to obey them (through singing as is suggested and their bare bodies).I wonder if some thought: who needs Viagra, when you can chant and make people horny just like that. Of course Viagra was not a thing back then. But Horror movies were. Not that there is much evidence of that here. I mean it get eerie from time to time, but this puts the Horror mantle on to let you watch a soft-core movie and not feel bad about it. Here's the thing: you can have fun with this, because it's so bad it gets entertaining. You can't be prude (I think I thoroughly established that) and don't expect too much Horror out of it ... Fancy an ... old castle with hot women dying to get into your pants? (on a serious note: the best thing is the location itself, really puts value to the whole thing)
BA_Harrison A group of young travellers converge on a remote German castle where the occupants try to resurrect a centuries old vampiress by using a descendant as the host for her spirit.As written and directed by prolific adult film maker Joseph W. Sarno, The Devil's Plaything unsurprisingly suffers from a dreadful plot and crap performances, and delivers loads of (unexplicit) nudity and sex, opening as it means to go on with a protracted naked lesbian hippy Satanic ritual in which the participants are felt up by their leader. Precisely what they are hoping to achieve by this practice is unclear, but it's fun to watch, nonetheless. Sadly, as the film progresses, and the story becomes harder to follow (not helped by the strong accents of its mostly German cast), the repetitive scenes of gyrating naked women actually become extremely boring, even when they introduce multi-coloured penis-shaped candles into the mix.More nudity and random sexual acts are provided by the castle's young guests, including a couple having a roll in the hay, and a woman satisfying herself with a candle (NOT penis shaped, but it still does the trick). Somehow, though, Sarno manages to make all of this deviancy about as exciting as a documentary on watercress farming in the Meon Valley.
contact-258 Spoilers! Classic 70's sex trash! The Swedish gal (Helga) was what made this movie so great. She was beautiful, but what really got to me was how sexual she was. She exuded massive quantities of sexuality throughout the film. Her best scenes were when she was, er, stimulating herself. Whenever she was on screen, I became transfixed.Also, the Doctor Julia (sister of the dimwitted male focus of the film) was very interesting visually. Although most 12 year old girls have bigger breasts than Julia, she knew how to use what little she had and her scenes (especially the scenes with the silk blouse and black skirt) also grabbed my attention unmercilessly. You also got to love the major hoaky scene where the bats stripped her nekkid; I don't know if I've ever seen anything more ludicrous yet sexy at the same time. Classic stuff!
Charles Modzinski Well, if you are looking for a great mind control movie, this is it. No movie has had so many gorgeous women under mind control, and naked. Marie Forsa, as the busty Helga, is under just about everytime she falls asleep and a few times when she isn't. One wishes they made more movies like this one.
