Such a frustrating disappointment

hyped garbage

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

"Nuda Per Satana" aka. "Nude For Satan" of 1974 is a very confused little piece of Horror-Sleaze that barely makes any sense, and yet it is undeniable that the film is very stylish in its nonsensical way as only the Italians could do it. The film's storyline is doubtlessly messy and making hardly any sense, and yet it is delivered appealingly, with great camera-work, an awesome score and, not least, a very sexy female lead. The plot itself often just seems like a lame excuse to show tons of sleaze and female nudity, but it is an excuse most of my fellow Exploitation fans should willingly accept (at least I did). After a car crash, a man and a woman get somehow (don't ask how or why) stuck in an eerie castle which is infested by a very sinister host and his equally wicked servants. The result is a confusing, atmospheric and very sexed-up orgy of all kinds of sleaze (lesbian scenes, whippings, tons of female nudity,...) and delightful satanic... stuff. Director Luigi Batzella was both active as actor and director in the 70s, "Nude For Satan", which he directed, but in which he did not act is certainly the most widely known film he is associated with. The film's most convincing qualities are the nice atmosphere, the absolutely ravishing leading actress Rita Calderoni and the sublime score by Alberto Baldan Bembo, who did not compose a lot otherwise, his other career highlights being the scores to two "Emanuelle" flicks and the infamous Nazisploitation film "La Ultima Orgia Del III Reich". The acting is not exactly breathtaking, but who is going to watch a film like this one for the performances anyway. The probably best performance comes from Renato Lupi who plays an eerie butler, and James Harris is also quite good as the uncanny owner of the castle. Even though not much of an actress, sexy Rita Calderoni, who has a tendency to take her clothes off at any opportunity, is still the most convincing reason to watch the film (along with fellow exhibitionist Iolanda Mascitti, who plays a servant girl). Stelio Candelli (who was in Mario Bava's "Planet Of The Vampires" as well as Lamberto Bava's "Dèmoni") plays the male lead. I strongly recommend to watch this in Italian. The English dubbing is unspeakably terrible. Obviously, the Italian actors dubbed themselves into English, which is why everybody in the English language version has an Italian accent (admittedly, this has sort of a charm). Overall, "Nude For Satan" is a film that my fellow fans of Italian Horror, Exploitation and Eurosmut could enjoy - or could just as well miss. Honestly, I can not really recommend the film, but I could not advise anyone not to see it either. It has its qualities, but there sure is a vast amount of better stuff to discover in Italian sleaze-cinema.

To all the people who are babbling about how the movie had no plot,I've got words 4 things to say to you- 1.Its a Exploitation flick. 2.Its Italian Exploitation flick. 3.Its is a "classic" Italian Exploitation flick. 4.Its a Cult flick(Enjoyed by some and despised by most)The reason i didn't give it full marks is that it doesn't have as much nudity as i wished for,but still pretty good.It has very good atmosphere which i totally love about these movies and the wooden acting also makes me happy.If i want to see great acting i would watch a Mira Nair film. The lead actress is absolutely gorgeous with a great body,and she would do great in my classic exploit collection.

Wasn't that impressed , however it did have it's enjoyable moments. There was TONS and TONS of nudity, lots of Lesbian action, and other stuff to enjoy, however, the pace is inconsistent and the atrocious dubbing does not help matters either. It had lots of great atmosphere , and the hammy acting to enjoy however it could have been a lot better and the finale was a bit weak. The direction was good. Luigi Batzella did a very good job here with creating lots of creepy and foggy atmosphere, and it's visually striking and the Razzle dazzle camera work is awesome however the Pace isn't that great and he could have made the ending better, the lighting was excellent though. There is a tiny bit of blood. We get a bloody whipping sequence, a bloody stabbing, and that's all she wrote. The Acting is so so. Rita Calderoni over acts as Susan but does good as Evelyn she was much more interesting. James Harris did what he had to do. Stelio Candelli was very good as both Dr Benson and Peter. Overall i suppose it's worth one watch if ya can find it (i found it on the Scream Channel). **1/2 out of 5. By the way the Photography was excellent.

Lots to look at, as you would expect from an Italian film. Supernatural in theme, not much of a plot. This is not necessarily a negative thing, considering how effective if worked in Dario Argento's "Inferno". Plenty of nudity from Rita Calderoni which doesn't hurt. Somewhat similar in gonzo style (but not as frantic)to Polselli's "The Reincarnation of Isabel". Worth a look.
