During
a world war a troubled man named
Baron von Rhoneberg (Jean
Servais) experiences his wife
giving birth to their baby and
dies from it. After finding out
that his child is a girl and
kills her in her cradle as his
family has a curse.
Years later on a stormy night 7
travellers hide from shelter by a
storm in Baron's gothic mansion
that is cursed by a succubus or
so they're told as they don't
feel right at home there plus
finding the place creepy.
A lusty succubus at the mansion
named Lisa Muller (Erika Blanc)
tempts the guests weaknesses for
one of their seven deadly sins
and then kills them one by one by
their mortal sins by wine
poisoning, decapitation, sharp
metal objects and snakes as Lisa
leaves a marking on each of the
victims.
A preacher there named Alfred
(Lucien Raimbourg) however,
doesn't seem to give in to her so
easily and tries to find a way to
survive the seven deadly sins at
the mansion.
But apparently Lisa is not alone
at the mansion as she is working
for Satan (Daniel Emilfork) who
owns the mansion and controls
Lisa to do his evil deeds and
Alfred is forced to make a deal
with him to bring his friends
back to life.
Ahh yes. A good old
classic Italian horror film.
During the beginning of this film
I had a very difficult time
understanding the plot but then
it makes sense afterwards.
I've taken an interest to Italian
horror films since I saw Demons
(Although that one was
Americanised) as they seem to be
very different and unique about
them.
The film is very artsy like with
the surroundings on it and can be
adored by others who enjoy
foreign horror flicks.
Well.... The acting
was spoken in French and
overdubbed by American actors so
it's hard to tell how the acting
is.
Who really stood out though is
supporting actor Daniel
Emilfork who has the thin
structure and creepy looks and is
obviously an evil character.
A
blonde is taking a bath and her
breasts are exposed but then they
are fully exposed during a
lesbian lust scene.
Erika Blanc shows brief
breast showings during her
tempting moments.
A
head is chopped off.
A woman is stabbed through the
heart.
An old man is stabbed by sharp
objects.
Jean
Brismee seems to flow very
well with his direction in the
film.
He definetely makes the scene
look deceiving that nothing
terrible is going to happen
halway through and suddenly the
evil going on's do happen.
He shows great shots with the
mansion and the residents staying
there too.
His direction towards Erika
Blanc is terrifically
choreographed with her lustful
looks and then she becomes
deadly.
Allesandro
Allesandroni shows a totally
different composition for this
film than what you see in an
every day horror film as some of
it is lacking and some of it
really fits in the film
altogether.
There's a great songtrack by a
female Italian composer too
giving the film a great feel to
it.
