This is actually more a Spanish horror movie than an Italian one (so it's really more "paella horror" than "spaghetti horror"). I'm sure there was probably Italian co-production money involved, and the cut I saw was obviously not a Spanish one (since it had some brief nudity). But most of the cast was Spanish except for the Austrian actress Krista Nell, who was usually relegated to supporting roles but acquits herself well here as the lead. She plays a woman whose sister has gone around the bend after accidentally becoming involved with a satanic cult, so for some reason she tries infiltrate the same cult with not much better results.As far as the plot goes, the movie is pretty weak. The directorial style doesn't begin to approach either the best Italian horror/gialli films or the British Hammer films, but it's not bad for early Spanish horror, and this is one of the few Spanish films that could actually be described as "psychedlic" in places (Spain's dictator at the time, Francisco Franco, had little use for the kind of decadence sweeping the rest of Europe that period, but, hey, if it's a bunch of satanists doing it. . .). The acting in general is unremarkable, but Nell and Teresa Gimpera, who plays the jealous girlfriend of the cult leader, are better than average. This is one of those movies I wouldn't look to hard for, but it's worth watching if you somehow run across it.

Not much happens that doesn't involve talking. The women are all quite lovely and can act too and the locations are also pretty, though zoom happy camera-work/direction mar this.There is one pretty fun dream scene but it takes almost an hour to get to it. Lots of zooms to people's eyeballs. You'll lose count. The villain plays the organ a lot, no reason other than I suppose so you know he's the villain.Some brief nudity but very little violence, it's well enough done to keep you going but just barely, there isn't any psychological dept to the situation and the plot is pretty straight forward--you'll be ahead of the lead investigation almost all the way so that adds to a level of, "Oh let's get on with it." But despite the zoom's overuse this is well produced, but more of a mystery I suppose than a thriller and if you think you're in for a Satan movie.... Well, look elsewhere to scratch that itch. Rather silly gray hair in some scenes, when you see it you'll know what I mean. Mostly for those who need to see everything but there are worse films out there. Too much talk is this one's downfall.

I did something while watching Feast for the Devil that I rarely, if ever, do – I caught myself nodding off a couple of times. Why? It's dull. It's uneventful. It's pointless. It's not very good. Instead of Feast for the Devil, a better title might be Feast for the Insomniac.Usually these Euro-Gothic films work for me. I'm a fan. But there's so little to get excited about in Feast for the Devil that it never clicked with me. The story involves a Dr. Tills Nescu who has a bad habit of kidnapping and sacrificing young women. While that may sound like a good set-up for a movie, in all actuality, Dr. Nescu and a variety of unknown people spend most of the movie at parties on his boat. Not very Satanic, huh? The movie builds to the final scenes of Dr. Nescu performing his rituals to honor Satan. But as it turns out, Dr. Nescu is hardly the big bad servant of the Devil we've been led to believe throughout the movie. Instead, he's more of a servant of his dead mother. What a letdown!

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 .....
