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 it wasn't for the presence of the gorgeous Krista Nell, '70s Euro-horror The Feast of Satan wouldn't be worth the time. Nell doesn't even get naked all that often, but she is very easy on the eye and consequently makes an otherwise dull film just about bearable.

The sexy Austrian actress plays Hilda Salas, who goes looking for her sister Maria (Verónica Luján), who was found babbling like a loony in the middle of a road and who went missing from hospital soon after. Hilda's search leads her to ladies' man Dr. Tills Nescu (Espartaco Santoni), who lives in a castle with his lesbian secretary Andrea (Teresa Gimpera) and creepy manservant Brito (Gene Reyes). After spending time in the company of Nescu, Hilda begins to fall for him, but doesn't realise that the man is a Satanist who plans to put her under the influence of his occult force and add her to his collection of women.

A mediocre plot and lacklustre direction do little to distinguish this movie, but director José María Elorrieta wisely makes the most of his beautiful star, putting her in several skimpy outfits, occasionally getting her to show a little T&A. As far as the horror is concerned, the film is extremely light on chills or scares, more likely to have the viewer nodding off at times instead of giving them sleepless nights. Try to stay awake though, otherwise you might miss the hilarious final act in which all the villains die and Hilda goes the same way as her sister.

This Spanish-Italian horror movie from 1971 revolves around the evil Doctor Nescu who seduces various beautiful women, until they take part in his satanic rituals. Altogether tame and very slow moving, not to say boring. It feels like half of the running time is spent by people standing around talking, smoking cigarettes and drinking wine. Then smoking another cigarette and drinking another glass of wine. If you didn't watch this movie, you didn't miss much. To mention a few positive things: Krista Nell, usually only in supporting roles, stars as Hilde who tries to escape from the Doctor's spell. She can be seen in a good lead role here. Occasionally we get some nice psychedelic camera work, and a good, scary soundtrack with plenty of organ playing is provided by skilled Italian composer Carlo Savina.

I'm a big fan of Euro horror and went into this one hoping for something along the lines of Sergio Martino's excellent paranoid Giallo All the Colours of the Dark, and came out of it severely disappointed. The plot focuses on Hilda Torres, a woman who decides to infiltrate a strange cult when her sister goes missing. She soon gets noticed by Tils Nescu; doctor and leader of the cult, and he has his own designs in Hilda. The film does look very nice and this is complimented by a cast featuring several nice looking ladies, but this doesn't cover up this film's main problem - that being that it's far too slow and the plot is completely uninteresting for most of the film. There's a hell of a lot of talking in the movie and it started to grind me down after a while. Usually with films like this, I can pick out a few good things to say about it; but Feast for Satan is seriously lacking in anything positive aside from the aforementioned good looking cinematography and actresses. There's a little twist at the end that doesn't really add much to the film and overall I feel safe in saying that even you're a fan of Euro horror, you can find something better to do with this part of your life.
