The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Curse of the Devil (1973)

Starring: Paul Naschy
Director: Carlos Aured

Premise:
Countess Bathory puts a curse on the family who burned her at the stake during the Inquisition. Years later a descendant angers a gypsy who knows of the curse. She summons Satan who releases a seductress upon the young man. She bites him, which turns him into a werewolf. Soon a body count starts to add up in the village and people are searching for a culprit.

My Take:
If you take away the outlandish premise, which as you see throws a lot in the mix to come up with a story, then it is a watchable movie.

Rating: Warning
