Seven passengers must spend the night at the cursed Baron's castle due to poor planning. The passengers clearly represent the seven deadly sins (not exactly biblical) as each one is murdered according to their sin, some more clearly than others.I have seen this film several times before, but this one had a modern introduction of a lesbian vampire Elvira with two well endowed topless cannibal women, none of which had anything to do with the film which they describe as Italian camp. I liked the blue bus. It reminded me of the blue bus that used to always be in the parking lot of a Grateful Dead concert. Thank you Bear. Now if you haven't figured it out, Gilligan's Island was also patterned after the seven deadly sins. After a trip to the blue bus, it becomes fun to imagine the island characters as their counterparts in the film, especially during the lesbian make out scene. Would that be Ginger and Mary Ann? It was for me.The film wasn't restored but was still watchable. I watched it on a multi-pack.Guide: sex and nudity. No swearing.

This movie is not all that bad but it is not all that grand either - I would say "it's OK". IMO, there are far better (cheesy) B-rated 1970's horror movie than this one but there are some that are far worse.There is a hint of soft porn in this film between two women that was really unnecessary to the story - so be forward if you find that sort of thing offensive. A hint of soft porn in B-rated horror films of the 1970's is not unusual.The movie is not scary and the story of "The Devil's Nightmare" is a bit interesting - it was interesting enough to keep me watching to the very end of the film. This movie will keep someone entertained enough if they are extremely bored or just want something different to watch.5.5/10

A bus of tourists is directed by a creepy farmer to stay in the castle of Baron von Rhoneberg, an ex-Nazi officer who despite his past seems very welcoming. Things seem to be going well until they are joined by an eighth guest (Erika Blanc), who may very well be a succubus.I know a little something about how succubi operate. I dated one once, back when I was young and stupid. Now that I'm old and stupid, I can reflect back and see her succubus charm and how it is hollow... but I digress. Traditionally, a succubus is a demon that seduces men, often in their sleep, and engages in sexual relations with them. Sadly, the so-called succubus here never does anything of the sort. (But there is a lesbian sex scene for those who are into that sort of thing.) According to many sources, the bus passengers are supposed to represent the seven deadly sins, but it is really hard to make that connection. Lust is clear, gluttony is painfully obvious and greed seems clear. But who is the priest? Pride? It's not clear at all. Who is sloth? Who is envy? Wrath? I could make guesses, but it's not clear. Unlike "Seven", where the sins are laid out very clearly, here it's a guessing game and the fates are far less torturous (though no less deadly).Reviewer Theron Neel, who does excellent work, points out this film has been known by at least fourteen names and seems to have a decent following, yet very little can be found about it. I agree wholeheartedly with this assessment. I really enjoyed the story and the characters and the dark twist towards the end... this film could easily get a decent treatment with special features and whatnot. Yet, it seems to be considered largely disposable. That is unfortunate.If you can find this one, I encourage you to pick it up. The version I own is on the "Blood Bath" collection, which is the bare minimum of quality. There's also a version from Diamond that I presume is superior (but don't take my word for it). I'd love to see Dark Sky or Anchor Bay pick this one up and dig up old footage and such.

"The Devil's Nightmare" is Eurotrash about seven travelers trapped in a castle. But the castle's resident family is cursed: every firstborn daughter is a succubus! And there are Nazis! Mostly, this movie is an excuse for gorgeous Erika Blanc to run around in Frederick's of Hollywood style outfits as she plays the succubus. And as such, it succeeds.The travelers are supposed to represent the Seven Deadly Sins, but we only get gluttony, greed, lust and wrath. Maybe the blonde is supposed to represent vanity, but she gets scared to death by a python, so that goes nowhere."The Devil's Nightmare" is very awkward and talky and slooow, but I won't deny that it has a certain sleazy charm and watchability in spite of its shortcomings.Did I mention that Erika Blanc was hot?
