    Oh Satan… You horny devil, you!

    Undoubtedly the key word to fully describe "Nude for Satan" is … RANDOM! The film opens with images of a girl randomly running through the woods naked, but there's absolutely no connection with the events later depicted in the story. After the opening credits, a male doctor and a ravishing female randomly crash their car on an open road and they both end up – once again … randomly – in an old ramshackle castle inhabited by no less than Satan himself and a couple of His sex-orientated disciples. The doctor and the women are both enticed by doppelgangers (have some random sex in the meantime) and it takes them quite a long time before they realize they're trapped inside a nightmarishly psychedelic and satanic paradox. Then later in the film, and purely for reasons of padding, there are random sequences involving a hilariously fake giant spider and the doctor aimlessly running through the caste's gardens. Now we all know that sleazy (Italian) 70's exploitation movies are not so much about substance but mainly about style, but Luigi Batzella really exaggerates here. I challenge anyone to find a movie is more confusing and pointless than "Nude for Satan" and, besides, it's not even that stylish or trippy as it hopes to be. What the film does offer plenty, however, is gratuitous sleaze and nudity. The DVD version I own, a brand new fancy Dutch release, even has X-rated footage (randomly, héhé) edited into the story. This is quite a hilarious sight, as the actresses as well as the decors obviously differ from the rest. But even without the pointless adult material "Nude for Satan" is super-sleazy stuff. Main starlet Rita Caldana walks around for half of the movie with one of her breasts hanging out of her top, but it doesn't seem to bother her at all. Then there also is some slightly more tasteful lesbian action and the movie ends in a gigantic orgy. Lovely, ain't it? The horror elements in "Nude for Satan" fail miserably. The aforementioned paper-mâché spider looks like a big potato with straws for legs and red berries for eyes. It doesn't move its legs, yet it "frightfully" approaches the poor dame in distress. I wouldn't recommend watching this film unless you're an avid fanatic regarding 'lost' cult treasures of the rancid 70's, and even then it isn't priority viewing. Mindless, undemanding fun for sick puppies like myself.

    Great title; pretty bad film.

    Doctor William Benson (Stelio Candelli) is driving to see a patient when he almost runs down a woman, who promptly disappears. While looking for the mysterious lady, he hears a crash. Investigating, he finds a beautiful woman (who we later learn is named Susan) unconscious in her car. The doc goes for help, happening upon a nearby castle, where he runs into several strangers, including a lady (who we later learn is named Evelyn) who is the exact likeness of Susan. Meanwhile, Susan arrives at the castle where she runs into Peter, who is the exact likeness of William. Much confusion follows (for the characters and the viewer). Susan and Evelyn (both played by Rita Calderoni) get naked a lot, as does a mysterious servant girl (Iolanda Mascitti) who pops up to indulge in lesbian sex and be flogged by a butler (Renato Lupi, whose blacked-out 'missing teeth' are not in the slightest bit convincing).

    As its title suggests, Euro-horror Nude for Satan features lots of T&A, kicking off immediately with a pre-credits scene in which a naked woman runs in slow motion through a foggy wood. Once William has entered the castle, there's a steady stream of nudity, mostly courtesy of Calderoni, who has a splendid set of breasts and a wild '70s bush. Writer/director Luigi Batzella's trippy story and surreal visuals result in a film that is largely incomprehensible, and not even the copious amount of skin on show can prevent it from being a colossal snoozefest. A bizarre scene where Susan falls into a massive spider web and is terrorised by a pipe-cleaner arachnid is hilariously bad, but outstays its welcome, the spider inching slowly closer and closer to the screaming woman (who does well not to burst into fits of giggles).

    For his final act, Batzella gets seriously arty, with lots of slow motion dancing from a couple of scrawny naked chicks and two blokes painted blue on one side. None of it makes a jot of sense. A copout 'It was all a dream, or was it?'-style ending wraps up this sorry mess.

    Yes, they do get nude for Satan.

    Another classic from the director of SS Hell Camp and The Devil's Wedding Night.

    Writer and director Luigi Badzella doesn't waste time on plot. Instead he focuses on such beauty as Rita Calderoni. There is a plot, if you are interested.

    It seems that Dr. Benson (Stelio Candelli) and Susan Smith (Rita Calderoni), a woman he found in an accident, have a dark side. They are Evelyn (Calderoni) and Peter (Candelli), who reside in Satan's (James Harris) castle.

    OK, you have a story, but I'm sure you are here to see how many get nude for Satan. They do that so much that you can make a drinking game out of it.

    There is weird music, horny spiders, and people getting nude for Satan.

    What the hell is this?!

    could somebody PLEASE tell me what the plot of this film is all about?

    OK, I gathered from the synopsis that it was about two weary travellers who stop off at a creepy castle for help, and they get into bother. Other than that, though, the film made absolutely NO sense whatsoever.

    'Nude for Satan' just comes across as a rather pathetic excuse for loads of soft-porn love-in sessions.

    The production design itself was very reasonable (apart from the odd dodgy special effects, and wobbly bedpost)

    At one point, I was practically falling asleep while watching this film.

    A similar movie, 'Bloodsucker leads the dance' is far superior in comparison (by the way, if you've seen "Bloodsucker Leads The Dance", you'll have noticed that the very same sets used in "Nude For Satan" also appear in that film).

    The only thing to recommend this film is a highly atmospheric music score, otherwise, this is certainly one film I certainly wouldn't go out of my way for!!

    Unforgettable 1970s Italian trash! Don't miss it!

    Several times while watching 'Nude For Satan' I had to pinch myself. Am I REALLY watching this or has someone spiked my drink?! Dario Argento fans often claim that his PLOTS aren't the most important things in his movies, rather it's his ability to manipulate mood and atmosphere, and his films are best approached as dreams, or better yet, nightmares. Luigi Batzella obviously feels the same way, but comparing him to Argento is over-doing it. Argento meets Ray Dennis Steckler is more like it! 'Nude For Satan' is CHEAP, it doesn't make much sense if you analyse it too much, but it is jam-packed with nudity and bargain-basement surrealism, and to my mind, is classic horror-trash that works on so many levels that your mind will boggle!

    Leave your brain at the door (but not your libido!), enter Batzella's house of fun, you're in for an unforgettable time! Be careful of the doppelgangers, spooky paintings that come to life, and a TERRIFYING (well...) giant spider, and maybe you too will end up 'Nuda per Satana'!
