George
“Buck” Flower presides over a Satanist ritual in which a woman is tied down
spread eagle while another babe bangs her with a strap-on. She’s then forced to suck another Satanist
until he jizzes on her chest while a clap of thunder is heard in the background. The woman is then sacrificed by being set on
fire. Then the plot begins.
Her
friends (Judy Angel and Jim Mathers) think her death is suspicious so they
decide to investigate, but not after they fuck.
They eventually find out that Flower is using his movie production
studio as a front to lure girls into becoming sacrifices for Satan. Judy then goes undercover (in both senses of
the word) to get close to Buck, but will Jim be able to save her in time?
For
only being 66 minutes long, Satans Lust (there’s no apostrophe on the title
card) crams in lots of scenes of hardcore action in a short amount of time. Not only are the Satanic S & M scenes hot,
the vanilla ones manage to be pretty decent too. The whole movie looks scuzzy and grimy, but
the sex scenes manages to still titillate despite (or perhaps because of) the dingy
atmosphere. Even though the picture looks
cheap and decrepit, the director (who’s uncredited, but was probably Flower) gives
us one cool camera shot that looks all the way up Angel’s dress that shows a little
more flair than your typical early ‘70s hardcore film.
The
scenes that combine sex and horror work the best. There’s a wild scene where a lady Satanist uses
a candle as a marital aid and winds up turning into a skeleton while in the
throes of passion. The subliminal shots
of the pig-faced Lucifer leering during the action are effective too.
If
you’re watching it for laughs, there’s plenty of those to be had. The overdramatic headshaking, hair-flipping
climaxes during the tender love scene between Angel and Mathers while majestic
music plays in the background is downright hilarious. Equally funny is the use of Muzak during the
sex scenes. There’s not one, but THREE Muzak
versions of Beatles’ songs played. (“I
Wanna Hold Your Hand”, “Good Day Sunshine”, and “Yellow Submarine”). My favorite bit was the blowjob scene set to “I
Will Follow Him”. You know how that old
song goes: “I love him, I love him, and
where he goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow”?
I had fun making up my own lyrics:
“I blow him, I blow him, and when he cums I’ll swallow, I’ll swallow”. The filmmakers even steal whole chunks of
score from Ennio Morricone’s score for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly for good measure.
