'The Devil's Kiss' (1976) - Jordi Gigó as Georges Gigo.

The unjustly obscure Spanish exploitation film-maker, Jordi Gigó deserves more credit for unleashing his funkadelic freak-fest 'The Devil's Kiss' (1976) upon an unsuspecting world! This hyperbolic hybrid of schlock horror eccentricity gleefully appropriates myriad B-Horror tropes with the avidity of fellow traveller, Andy Milligan! No rabidly trash-loving terrornaut should miss out on watching this grungy Gothic creature feature! Gigo's mindlessly entertaining, grisly-groovy horror hysteria evokes the similarly freaked-out 70s phantasmagoria of inventive iconoclast, Jess Franco's 'The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein'. Deliriously mad, Jordi Gigó's luridly Luciferian 'The Devil's Kiss' demonstratively disproves the felonious filmmaking adage that 'less-is-more'! 

The intensity of slinky-sexy sorceress, Claire Grandier's (Silvia Solar) obsession to avenge the death of her beloved husband manifests itself in a sinisterly Satanic series of sanguineous slayings! Fatefully combining Black Magic and the equally profane pseudo-scientific improprieties of psychic Professor Gruber (Olivier Mathot) they crudely reanimate a criminal's corpse to commit foul murder! Their maniacal meddling in eldritch forces engenders an audaciously bonkers climax within the imposing château of their debonair host, Duke De Haussement(Jose Nieto). Once you have experienced the exquisite psychotronic intensity of 'The Devil's Kiss' your B-Movie bedevilled lips will never quite feel the same again!'
