Curse Of The Devil is the first of Spanish horror star Paul Naschy's movies that I have seen. I have learned that this film is one of many where he played a werewolf and is regarded as one of his finer efforts. I did enjoy the film, but I would be lying if I was to say that this is first rate material. Curse Of The Devil does deliver the goods though for cheesy B movie Euro trash horror. Satan's disciples seek ultimate revenge on a family of a man who crashes a party at a witches coven and executes them. By doing so his family has the curse of the werewolf and is damned for all time. Things get hairy when Waldemar Daninsky (Naschy) attacks lusty maidens and noblemen throughout the village. The film does have some nice Gothic atmosphere and goes along well with the satanic subplot. It also delivers on blood and nudity with gorgeous European vixens showing their boobs and bushes. The dialogue on my version is English overdubbed, which is a riot and greatly enhances the camp value of the film. The make up werewolf f/x are some of the cheesiest I have ever seen. I nearly had a heart attack laughing so hard when the werewolf shows up in the film. Overall, this is a pretty schlocky horror film with plenty of flaws and a very low budget. However, Curse Of The Devil is a pretty entertaining midnight movie that delivers what fans of the genre want.
