Typical mid 70s Euro-sleaze where they tried to work in a horror angle.
Rich guy, total horndog, loves to fantasize about sexual escapades with hot young women. Sometimes those women end up dead, but it’s just a fantasy, a daydream, so no harm no foul, right?
But then it happens once in real life. The attempted sexual assault was definitely not accidental, although the death was accidental. Either way, he knows he’s in deep shit.
He dumps the body and jams over to his castle. Or wait, is it his castle? He mentioned that he just bought a castle. But then when he gets to this castle, there’s an old man on his death bed, rambling on about life and death and the human soul and how he’s pledged his to Satan(?). So I guess he’s the owner? But then, he calls Karl, the butler, his son, not the rich horndog guy who is now a murderer. So does the murderer guy not own the castle? And why does Karl the butler treat him as if he does, if Karl’s father is the one who owns the castle? I’m only 24 minutes into the movie and I’m already confused.
So the movie continues and some more stuff happens, and none of it is any less confusing than the stuff that came before. Who the hell wrote this script or screenplay? Did they have any idea what they were doing?
We get a couple groovy trippy totally unnecessary dance scenes, with boobage, and a scene where a woman tries to have sex with a feather boa, again with boobage. Then we get a new couple who get a grand tour of the torture dungeon. What the hell? Does this movie have anything to do with Satan? Is it supposed to make any sense at all?
Answer, no and no. I think it’s just one of those movies where the audience is expected to be totally stoned and not really care if any of it made sense or not. For us non-stoners, it’s a complete waste of time. I guess, in the end, it’s more of a descent-into-madness thing, but it still doesn’t make any sense at all.
