So basically, this movie is very bad! It's one cheap looking '70's Spanish attempt at the horror genre, in the same style as an Italian genre flick, from the same time period. It also means that the movie is probably more of a thriller/mystery than an horror really but quite frankly, who cares! It doesn't make the movie any better or more interesting to watch.And that's the movie its biggest problem; it just never becomes a good or interesting one to watch, with the exception of its last half hour maybe. But it's all far too late into this movie to safe it and consider it a recommendable one in any way. Guess that the only persons who will get some enjoyment out of this movie still, are the Eurotrash horror lovers. So people who like cheap looking, clumsily made flicks, with some naked girls in it.And that's also exactly how I took this movie, which is also the reason why I didn't rated it as poorly as you might expect. Within its genre it's just one of those typical movies, that really isn't any better or worse than the average genre attempt.Most people will probably still hate this movie way more than I did. This is also really due to the fact that there isn't a lot happening in its first hour and the movie mostly consists out of people staring or standing mysteriously in the corner somewhere. It's so ridicules and it also really gets annoying after a while.The story in its core and essence definitely had some potential in it but the director had clearly no idea how to handle it all and turn it into a good or interesting movie. Perhaps it's not fair to put all of the blame on the director though. I mean, the movie obviously didn't had an awful lot of peseta's to spend and neither the rest of the crew and its cast really had the talent to lift this movie to greater heights.All in all, really not a movie worth searching out.4/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

I am an enthusiastic fan of European Horror in general and I LIVE for Italian and Spanish Gothic Horror productions in particular. That being said, one will always be in for one disappointment or another, regardless of genre, and this is definitely the case with "Las Amantes Del Diablo" aka. "Feast of Satan" (1971). My expectations for this flick weren't very high, since fellow Eurohorror buffs had already warned me that it wasn't very good; however, I tend to love trashy flicks that others find silly. While I expected this film to be silly, I did not expect it to be boring. Well, it is.The film's premise isn't all that bad and could have actually made a cool flick, had it been executed with a little more love. The film is about a young woman (Krista Nell) who, in search of her disappeared sister, comes to a small coastal village where she encounters the sinister Dr. Tills Nescu (Espartaco Santoni)... The title already gives away in which direction the film is going, and though it is only 90 minutes long, it seems to go on forever. There is zero action and zero suspense, and endless periods in which literally nothing happens. European Horror cinema is generally known to be as atmospheric as cinema gets. Sadly this isn't the case with this yawner, which features hardly any atmosphere-building settings (with the exception of one somewhat eerie-looking castle). The ridiculous and absolutely out-of-place elevator music doesn't help. Unlike most European Horror / Exploitation flicks from the 70s this one is almost gore- and sleaze-less. The highlight of the film is a scene in which the yummy leading actress Krista Nell (who sadly passed away far too young from leukemia) bares her breasts for about two seconds. The female cast members, particularly Nell and the equally ravishing Teresa Gimpera, are nice to look at, but then, there's about 10.000 other Eurohorror films of which one can say the same, and which are a hundred times more recommendable than this one. The film's most entertaining moments are those which are (unintentionally?) funny, such as the mustached dwarf who simply is there for no reason whatsoever. The film also features Julio Peña, who might be known to Eurohorror fans for being in several films starring the late Spanish Horror legend Paul Naschy (R.I.P.). The film catches up a little in the last 15 minutes, but this doesn't make up for first 75 minutes of boredom. There isn't much else to say about this film, other than that it is dull as ditchwater. Not Recommended.

Euro-sleaze from the 70's doesn't get any more prototypic than "Feast of Satan", with its lurid atmosphere, scantily clad women running through the woods all petrified, horrible dunning, sinister organ music overload, shamelessly borrowed influences of American landmark horror movies and the thinnest possible storyline imaginable. When her sister Maria is repatriated from a vacation resort in a severe state of mental shock, with the characteristics of being petrified still noticeable on her face, Hilda Salas travels to the area to investigate what happened. She gradually becomes entangled in a world of occult mystery. The more Hilda gets acquainted with the local high society, and particularly the hunky Dr. Tills Nescu, the more her life is endangered. As said, "Feast of Satan" is pretty standard guff and thus predictable, derivative and largely boring. The film is surprisingly – and unfortunately – very sparing with nudity and gore, so you simply have no choice but to pay attention to the decrepit plot. Due to the complete lack of action and suspense, the film seems to go on forever without revealing any clues regarding the denouement. That is especially annoying since the title pretty much openly gives away what will happen at the end: one giant satanic orgy, of course! Though I have to admit the final couple of twists and red herrings, as well as the climax sequences, uplift the quality level of the movie in general.Here's a tip in case you really get too bored to be bothered with the actual film. Keep an eye open for the Dr. Tills Nescu's short-sized and mustached employee. He makes the highest amount of pointless cameo appearances I've ever counted. It's like he came for free with the camera!

If you like Hammer horror flicks, you might like this Italian effort grounded in the same genre. Well- possibly.You know the formula: pretty girls in white dresses (esp Krista Nell), central casting bad guy in a dark cloak- and a gothic pile in which to set events.All pretty derivative, but done in a competent but generally unchallenging manner.If you want sleaze, then this is not for you. Some gore. Very little nudity. In fact very little "edge" at all. Saw mine on German DVD as "Tanz des Satans". No better in translation .....
