Perverted Hairballs, 20 January 2007
7/10
Author: dccduk from United Kingdom

The previous reviewer was somewhat coy. Putting the curse on poor Valdemar fortunately requires a well-endowed coven to have a Satanic orgy, which is indeed a delightful slice of 70s Gothic-erotica.

The opening medieval fight scene really lets you know what you're in for. It makes 'Monty Python & the Holy Grail' look like 'Gladiator'.

Superb badly-dubbed dialogue throughout.

Tasty variety of buxom Spanish maidens thrust into the action, to keep things bouncing along.

Most shameless ketchup gore effects imaginable. I especially liked the killing of the tipsy woodsman in his house (towards the end) - he really looks as if someone's just rubbed a very saucy pizza all over his face. And watch out for Valdy's fantastic flying leaps - who would have imagined werewolves could swoop so gracefully into action?

Worth watching for the cleavage alone. Awoooooo...
