La perversa caricia de Satán

A fashion show with very loud looking 1970's clothing is taking place in a large old chateau, accompanied with a funky musical score. Needless to say we see semi-naked models backstage. Next up is a seance conducted by an attractive female medium called Claire along with her accomplice, crazy Professor Gruber. With the help of a hunchbacked assistant they secretly reanimate a disfigured male corpse using a combination of science and black magic. What's more Gruber can control The Zombie (as the creature is known) by telepathy. A fairly interesting take on the Frankenstein tale, this monster is allergic to the Holy Cross so perhaps a touch of Dracula too for good measure. The chateau makes for a great location. Though far from being a classic this movie has enough horror, nudity and Gothic elements to satisfy most fans of sleazy Euro horror, a fairly enjoyable entry. My British DVD on the Black House label has the title DEVIL KISS (as opposed to Devil's Kiss) on its opening credits. The English language version comes with some pretty awful dubbing.
