Black Candles Movie Review

The Story:

Black Candles Poster
"Los ritos sexuales del diablo"

A couple travels to England for a funeral. While staying with her sister-in-law, the woman soon finds her husband seduced by a satanic cult living in the house. Let the bestial black mass / blood orgy begin!!!

Characters:

We get to know the characters a little too well, and let’s just say I’ve now seen enough 70’s bush to last me a lifetime. The movie is filled with bizarre, wacky characters that get undressed and I enjoyed how seriously it played out. It’s bad soft core porn with a shot of depravity, how can’t you love the players in the game?

Gore/Special Effects:

I figure bestial, black mass, blood orgy was a pretty good description by itself.  When they did stop having sex long enough to spill blood; it didn’t disappoint.

Lasting Appeal:

This is something that I feel has a lasting appeal, it’s a good movie to put on in the background. You don’t need to pay full attention to know what’s going on. It would also make a good conversation piece along with some good tunes at a party. You could also watch it if you have a gross porn fetish, to each their own right? I know I’ll probably revisit it in the near future!

Final Head Count:

While not a masterpiece, it does serve it’s purpose: to disgust normal people (and slightly entertain us weirdos). It’s quite funny, but the filmmakers purpose was grindhouse sex and unfortunately they don’t stray far for long before returning to the symphony of testicle slaps.
