Tagline: Hellish Creatures Become A Great Poem!
Trivia: Carmelo Bene worked on this film blind drunk. It has been suggested that it was his best performance on film.
Bizarre Art Movie which purports to be a 'statement about life'. The longer 120 minutes 35mm. version includes bloody Countess Elizabeth Bathory (here called Marthory), the Frankenstein monster, a really strange Satan, surrealistic King Kong, Attila the Hun, Montezuma, the fearful minothaur and other hellish characters.
User Comments: DREAMY JOURNEY FROM HELLISH MINDS!
Just like in a terrifying dreamlike adventure, every kind of monsters, hellish creatures and fantastic personality strike again in this surreal Poem on Film. My plot summary talk about Elizabeth Bathory (here Marthory), the Hungarian bloody noblewoman, Frankenstein, Satan in person, King Kong, Attila the Hun, the mad Montezuma and the Greek Minotaur, but also sexy witches, Vampires of every sort, a Werewolf, Zombies and others nightmarish damned creatures. Everybody dance around the devil and sacrifice virgins sucking their souls through victims' foreheads.They also grow some female gentle beasts to feed some followers with. Wonderful soundtrack!
