SATANS WIFE 1977 (TUBI)

This is also known as "Ring Of Darkness" and it sat on the shelf for two years until it was finally released in 1979.

The film centers around 4 women who have made a pact with Satan to be his brides. The child of one of the women is now 13 and begins to exhibit some very evil signs.

I love Italian and Spanish horror films more than anything else in the film world, but this Italian mess was hard to sit thru simply because it made no sense.

Mind you, it's not boring, but things happen with no explanation, scenes change so fast the viewer has a hard time keepting track of everything. It combines, "The Exorcist", "The Omen" and other such films into it's plot and I got a kick out of the music score, which used some of the music from Goblin and "Dawn Of The Dead".

The cast in wonderful as is usual for Italian cinema and it features Anne Heywood, Valentina Cortese, Irene Papas, the incredibly gorgeous Marisa Mell, Frank Finlay. John Phillip Law and Paola Tedesco.

I would recommend this only if you haven't seen it and you're like me and have to see every Italian horror film ever made. Others may want to stay away as it is so damned disjointed.

Or maybe just watch it for the women, they are always beautiful.
