The first twenty minutes of this movie explain how Peo (Piero Vida) became Father Renigio after his younger years of vice. As a criminal who goes by Carlo hides in his church, Peo goes to speak to the man's exotic dancer girlfriend Alma Del Rio and tell her how he once hid in a castle and met Satan.
An old man (Christopher Lee) had opened his castle for him and several of his friends, asking them to help find the dead body of his wife, but they were so high that they decided to have a bongo dance line instead.
Shot under the name Faust '63 and originally called Katarsis, this feels like if Jerry Warren and Jess Franco made an Italian Gothic movie together and made a goofy-eyed spider as one of the monsters. Its production company, I Films della Mangusta, went bankrupt shortly after filming. The movie was bought by Eco Film, who added the new footage. Director Giuseppe Vegezzi dropped out of directing movies after this experience and even attempted suicide, which is why the first twenty minutes feel like a totally different movie, as they were added to pad the time.
Somehow, the music from this movie by Berto Pisano made its way into Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror.
At one point, this was a lost movie. Now, you can watch it on streaming whenever you want.
