Ceremonia en villa Alexander
Aka: ESTRATTO DAGLI ARCHIVI SEGRETI DELLA POLIZIA DI UNA CAPITALE
EUROPEA
Translation: Taken From the Secret Police files of A European
Capital City.
Jane and her three hippy boyfriends enjoy a weekend of fun sailing,
camping and cursing the beach in a dune buggy. Joe, who desires
Jane, give her a beautiful pearl necklace. Unknown to Jane, the
necklace was previously owned by a woman who was said to have been
possessed by a demon. Looking like the cast of Scooby Doo, the four
are having a great time until a violent storm sends them packing.
Unfortunately the dune buggy runs out of gas during the downpour
and they are forced to push the car to the area’s only gas station.
The owner not trusting the travelers checks they offer only gives
them a small amount of gas. The limited petrol gets them only a
few miles before they come to a stop in front of a large gothic
mansion where they are invited in and given gasoline and shelter.
As they wait out the storm Jane is taken upstairs by Lady Alexander.
After a few hours the three men begin to wonder about Jane and set
off to search the huge villa to find her. As they descend into the
basement they begin to hear strange chants. They discover Jane is
about to become the ritual sacrifice for Satan. The three hippies
disrupt the satanic cult’s rituals and rescue Jane from a death
on the alter. As they flee, a delirium of ghastly and blood-soaked
violence erupts within the cult as the interruption of the ritual
causes them to brutally kill each other. The four escape in their
car only to discover that the terror they left behind seeks revenge.
From
famed Italian director Riccardo Freda’s who is best know as a pioneer
for his early gothic horror films I Vamperi and The Horrible
Dr. Hichcock comes this excellent and much over-looked later day
gothic thriller. Although a very low budget film Freda is able to
create a macabre setting, an outrageously gory sequence and an attempt
to cash in on the Charles Manson/Sharon Tate murders. This film
is the one of the first to star Buster Keaton’s niece Camille Keaton.
Written by Mario Bianchi, Leonardo Martin and Jose G. Maesso. Music
by Stelvio Cipriani. Also stars Tony Isbert, Maximo Valverde, and
the very busy genre stars Luigi Pistilli and Paul Muller. (1972
– Italy/Spain) Full screen. In Spanish with English subtitles.
