I watched THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE because it was a double feature on the same DVD as the one with MESSIAH OF EVIL, also known as DEAD PEOPLE. DEAD PEOPLE is brilliant. A one-of-a-kind film. Unfortunately, I can't say the same thing with THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE. It's bad, bad, bad.
Bad acting, bad dialogue, bad music, bad sets, bad lighting, bad horror, bad effects. There's nothing* worthwhile in it and it's not even worth reviewing thoroughly. Even the lesbian sex scene is bad. The two women look uncomfortable with the whole thing. There's something wrong with a movie when a lesbian sex scene ends up being unsexy.
The production value of a Benny Hill film sketch is more worthwhile than this entire movie. In fact, the whole film looks like an extended Benny Hill sketch. BTW, make sure to check-out the scene with the dead cat. You can see the cat still breathing.
* The only redeeming thing about THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE is Erika Blanc. She plays a succubus. Even if the role is totally ridiculous, Erika's presence is striking. Her face, body, etc. Her acting can only be described as out of this world. The gray makeup makes her striking looks even more striking. She's truly memorable in an otherwise completely forgettable film. Her role is not enough reason to watch this film but if you do, watch it for her and nothing else.
