A first and last directorial effort from Jean Brismée which seems a bit of a shame as this is a decent effort.
I would have thought this French but it is actually Belgian/Italian. It has that feel of a Spanish/Italian movie like Eyeball. A weird bus trip with assorted "characters"... A bit of weird sexual deviance... Lurid murders?!
This features Nazis, family curses, the Devil and a Succubus? Everyone wants some of that succubussy 🤌

Actually more arty than I thought it would be.

I find this movie particularly disturbing with post Epstein island hindsight 😬 No-one on that list is getting their comeuppance...
This movie manages to straddle that ground between Giallo and Poliziotteschi. Massimo Dallamano directs the hell out of this, and makes a pretty serious film. I liked all the main leads, and it's always good to see Mario Adorf. The soundtrack was pretty solid too 👌

A subversion of both genres but still a very relevant movie.

PS: great poster! 🤌

Amazing. Half sleazy Giallo (the second Martino in a row I've watched where he has shagging and his name proudly displayed in the opening credits 🤌) and half Edgar Allen Poe creep-fest.
I can remember some ill-advised (and unsolicited) advice I received on the advent of my sister's wedding; "Women love a bastard." Also, beware an angry pussy?! Anyway, this is a masterclass on how to both deliver and subvert the genre. Chef's kiss 🤌
