RITES, BLACK MAGIC AND SECRET ORGIES IN THE 14th CENTURY (1973)
This Italian Satanic/witch movie starts off with some chick being stripped and then sacrificed to some pasty-faced demon lady named Isabel. The cult of men doing this look like they took their fashion tips from THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO. While all this naughtiness goes on you hear a bunch of dogs barking and howling incessantly in the background. From there a woman is attacked by angry bats and has her heart ripped out by some maniac. Meanwhile those fucking dogs keep barking! After about 20 minutes of this craziness they shut up and it all sort of starts to make sense as a group of folks take up residence in a spooky old castle and spooky shit starts to happen. This fools you into thinking there's some kind of a plot here which is not true. It turns out our pasty demon goddess was just some lady burned at the stake for being a witch. There's also a gory scene where she has her heart rammed through with a large stake. So she's back for revenge or something like that but then some vampire stuff happens. Overall this movie is a real mess but you do get lots of evil groping going on, a little lesbianism, bloodsucking, flashing colors/psychedelic freak-out scenes, a woman buried alive, hot naked European ladies cavorting about and lots of creepy devil-worshiping guys acting creepy and not much of that makes any sense. Mickey Hargitay from BLOODY PIT OF HORROR is in there as Isabel's boyfriend. There's a few alternate titles for this including THE REINCARNATION OF ISABEL and THE GHASTLY ORGIES OF COUNT DRACULA(yes Count Dracula is thrown in there also). For advanced fans of off-the-wall Eurotrash who can handle a big helping of total weirdness.
