An Intriguing but Flawed Occult Sexploitation Flick

"The Satanist" (1968) is an obscure sexploitation film that delves into the realm of satanism and the occult. The premise is intriguing - a couple becomes entangled with a witch who introduces them to a satanic cult, leading to erotic and nightmarish experiences. The film's exploration of satanic themes was groundbreaking for its time, predating other adult films with similar subject matter.While the film succeeds in creating an atmospheric and eerie vibe, it ultimately falls short in terms of substance. The narrative is thin, serving primarily as a vehicle for the occult imagery and nudity. The acting is mediocre, and the characters lack depth, making it difficult to become invested in their plight.Despite its provocative subject matter, "The Satanist" is relatively tame by modern standards. There is no explicit sex, with the nudity limited to topless scenes. The satanic rituals and erotic sequences, while suggestive, lack the intensity and shock value that contemporary audiences might expect.Overall, "The Satanist" is a curiosity that will primarily appeal to enthusiasts of cult and exploitation cinema. Its historical significance as an early exploration of satanism in sexploitation films is noteworthy, but its flaws prevent it from being a truly compelling or memorable experience. For those interested in the genre's evolution, it's worth a watch, but general audiences may find it lacking in substance and impact.

Satan for the raincoat crowd

This very low-budget but well-shot and -scored (with mixed jazz and psych-rock instrumentals) nudie offers what the genre usually did at the time: Provide a lot of bodacious women excuses to take their shirts off and writhe in various forms of non-explicit ecstasy. It's also true to the norm in having almost no synch dialogue at all, just the protagonist (a writer on his honeymoon) narrating the goings-on. He and his wife move in next door to a mysterious lady who invites them to "meet the neighbors" at a climactic party that naturally turns out to be ritualistic orgy meeting for her coven.We get topless exotic dancing (exotic as in quasi-Middle/Far Eastern, not the twirling-tassles type), and that kind of softcore lovemaking in which the players get nearly-naked and act almost as if they were actually having sex, though not close enough to risk police raiding the theater. The women are duly attractive and top-heavy (no doubt with some silicone help). There's male semi-nudity too, particularly by the hero, who is in good shape for the era but is really, really hairy. (I.e. Not just his chest, but his back and shoulders.)The pace is soporific, but then suspense is hardly the point--the "horror" elements are just a novel pretext here for the usual hubba-hubba stuff. So, an above-average adult movie of the period for its decent photography and soundtrack, but if you're watching this because it's "horror," be warned it is like watching paint dry. Sexy paint, that is. If you like this sort of thing, it's a pretty good one...which is to say it's fun in a sorta dullish-yet-pleasantly-campy way.
