Rating: 3.0
HORRIFIC DVD Presentation of an Otherwise Enjoyably Strange 70's Satanic Flick
Oh MYA! ... MYA has built a reputation for itself by releasing rare, much sought-after Spanish cult horror titles in terrible bargain-VHS-type quality but with extremely high special-edition-type price tags. Well, Satan's Wife looks truly awful! Murky, dark, grainy, blurry - a bottom-of-the-barrel offering from whatever source they happened to pluck up. Also, the film has two audio options - English dubbing and Original Spanish but with NO subtitles (really, for the $25 list price, lousy picture and sound and NO extras, the LEAST they could/should offer was subtitles)!! However, the movie itself is pretty interesting. A group of ladies make a pact with the devil, but then decide to renege on their end of the bargain. All is well until one of the girls' daughters begins to act devilish. Things play out almost like one of those all-too-common made-for-TV movies that were so abundant in the wake of "The Excorcist"'s success. Except for the extra doses of nudity and all around weirdness that build up to an eye rubbing finale pitting naked evil daughter against naked formerly-evil mother. Who will win?? Finding out the answer to that question involves a lot of work viewing this movie with its shoddy-ass presentation that makes even the worst offerings from one of those "Mill Creek" 50-movie box sets look high-definition by comparison. Only for hardcore genre fans!
