The Devil's Nightmare
This film was actually really interesting to be fair. What I really loved about this film was the gothic atmosphere that has been presented, the phenomenal score composed by Alessandro Alessandroni, the average 1970s Eurohorror aesthetics, the location in this film, the bizarre, unsettling and dreamlike mood represented. I also really loved the really light colouring of the blood, and also additionally, what I had found really cool was that while watching this, I had realised that the seven deadly sins were portrayed by using all of the tourists while staying in this castle. For example:

Gluttony - Matt Ducard: Depicted as a greedy tour guide who soon dies while choking on food and wine provided by the Succubus

Greed - Nancy: Due to her desire for wealth, she drowns in a pile of powdered gold

Lust - Corinne: Killed by getting trapped in an iron maiden after engaging in an adulterous tryst

Wrath - Mason: Depicted as having an aggressive and impatient personality, soon getting thrown out if a window, then getting impaled on an iron fence

Envy - Howard: After bringing out his jealousy, he is then killed with a guillotine

Sloth - Regine: Killed by a snake while sleeping, representing laziness

Pride - Father Alvin Sorel: Uses pride to essentially resist and ward off the succubus, but then offers a bargain to sell his soul to Satan if he releases the souls of the people that once were.

This is absolutely great. Story takes a little bit to get going but there are loads of symbolism and deeper themes that really made me think well after viewing. The 2k blu ray scan is gorgeous and would absolutely love for this to get a modern remake. This film was truly ahead of its time.
