Taken from the original negative, the transfer was excellent for the time (apart from being interlaced, alas) with powdery colors and razor-sharp detail. Rescuing another outrageous gem completely unknown to most English-speaking viewers, Mondo Macabro first brought this film to DVD in 2005. In fact, watch it back to back with the later Alucarda for maximum effect.
The ironic denouement indicates that the filmmakers weren't taking all of this too seriously, so don't feel guilty about kicking back and enjoying a curious variation on the religious horror craze from the 1970s.

The potent atmosphere resembles a fairy tale come to life complete with isolated forests and antiquated village streets where evil can run rampant in full view of ignorant townspeople. Soon enough she's causing all kinds of trouble, making moves on young village boys, provoking suicides, and spilling innocent blood in a rampage of demonic lust.Ĭomplete with ferocious performances, plentiful nudity, and even psychedelic swirling opening credits, this delirious yarn is yet another variation on Ken Russell's The Devils (including an amusing nun orgy with the sisters hopping about shouting "Hail the Mother Superior!" while Maria hallucinates flocks of sheep). The strange man keeps reappearing (once in the form of a lesbian nun who ravishes her on the floor!), and she realizes he may actually be Satan himself, intent on making her an instrument of evil. Back at the convent, she finds her prayers insufficient to block the evil influence now creeping into her soul she even retires to her chambers at night where she indulges in violent fantasies and whips herself into a sexual frenzy. Unfortunately her life changes when she's confronted by a swarthy naked guy (Rocha) prone to gnawing on apples. Directed by Mexi-horror veteran Gilberto Martínez Solares, who also helmed a few wrestling monster pictures as well as the better chunks of Face of the Screaming Werewolf, our story revolves around sweet young Sister Maria (Pezet), a tranquil and benevolent nun who spends her afternoons wandering through the woods, picking flowers and admiring the birds. (And yes, its title was later used as the name of Selma Hayak's character in From Dusk Till Dawn). Rarely has a film's title been more appropriate than Satanico Pandemonium, a wild and woolly Mexican nunsploitation outing that gives those blasphemous Italians a run for their money. Starring Cecilia Pezet, Enrique Rocha, Delia Magana, Veronica Avila
