DEVILMAN STORY 1967 (SINISTER CINEMA)

Interesting Italian action/sci-fi film.

Guy Madison is Mike Harway, a reporter investigating the killing of one scientist and the kidnapping of another.

He agrees to help the beautiful daughter of the missing scientist. Christine is played by Luisa Baratto whom you probably remember from "Bloody Pit Of Horror".

The trail takes them to Africa where a madman in a bizarre silver mask named Devilman is conducting experiments on brain transplants and mind control. Mike and Christine falls captive to the madman and they also discover her missing father is being controlled by Devilman and is used for the experimental surgery.

The rest of the cast includes the ubiquitous Luciano Pigozzi and Valentino Macchi. The print is a beautiful widescreen presentation with beautiful color.

This is a rather obscure film and just the kind I always seek out. Madison makes a great hero and Baratto is gorgeous as usual. I don't have too much information about this lovely woman except that she made 11 movies between 1965 and 1969 and then disappeared from film, which was our loss.

If you're an action fan I can recommend this. It will keep your attention.
