<[;-} INFURIATINGLY STUPID BUT VISUALLY COMPELLING
ROLLIN IS TRYING TO BE DEEP OR SOMETHING, BUT THIS PIECE OF CRAP IS AS UNRELENTINGLY DUMB AS ANYTHING I CAN REMEMBER RIGHT NOW. ITS A SHAME BECAUSE, AFTER WATCHING IT TWICE, I COULDN'T FIND A SINGLE FRAME THAT WASN'T A TREAT FOR THE EYES. THE NIGHT SCENES, THOUGH IN VIBRANT, RICH COLOR, ACHIEVE THE SORT OF CONTRAST AND INTENSITY FOUND IN THE BEST BLACK AND WHITE WORK. THE HEAD VILLIAN IS PLAYED BY A HAM THAT WOULD MAKE WILLIAM SHATNER SQUIRM WITH EMBARASSMENT. HE SPENDS MOST OF THE MOVIE WITH HIS EYES BUGGED, HIS JAW JUTTED, AND HIS LOWER DENTURES HANGING OUT. THE HEAD VILLIANESS IS A BEAUTIFUL (IN SOME SHOTS, REMINISCENT OF CATHERINE ZETA JONES) YOUNG WOMAN THAT SPENDS MOST OF THE MOVIE WITH MOST OR ALL OF HER SKIN ALL HANGING OUT. THE TWO EMBODIMENTS OF VIRGIN PURITY HAVE VISIBLE (VERY MINIMAL) BIKINI TAN LINES (BOTTOMS ONLY). "THE DEVIL" IS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE WORST ITALIAN GOTHIC HORROR-ROMANCE, WITH ENORMOUS SIDEBURNS, POOFY CLOTHES, OVERBLOWN MANNERISMS, AND A TON OF EYE MAKE UP. WE ALSO HAVE AN OMNISCIENT MAMMA-SAN, A HO-HOUSE DECORATED FOR HALLOWEEN (COMPLETE WITH BELA LUGOSI DOLL, IN THE LATE 1800'S!), LUDICROUS FIGHT AND DEATH SCENES, AND "THE SAD CLOWN OF LIFE" MOCKED IN BEER COMMERCIALS A FEW YEARS AGO. THE BRUTALITY AGAINST THE TWO "VIRGINS," IN THE CONTEXT OF THE UTTER STUPIDITY, IS ESPECIALLY GRATING.
