Italian filmmakers often get praised for their entries into the horror genre but it’s not often that a non-horror title makes it’s rounds through the movie groups that I’m a member of on social media. A couple weeks ago I saw several horror-minded people posting about the Full Moon release of Bitto Albertini’s Put Your Devil into My Hell.
Albertini is mostly known for his films Black Emanuelle and Black Emanuelle 2 which peaked my curiosity. I knew this wasn’t a horror film but hearing some of the comments about the film made me want to see it. I rushed to my email and hit up Full Moon and MVD and they were kind enough to send a review copy my way.
**Spoiler Alert** The film follows a womanizing artist who is trying to sleep with the mayor’s wife. However, the mayor is constantly commissioning him for various paintings. When the pope announces that the town’s visited by members of the Vatican will be monetarily compensated. The mayor enlists the painter to help him destroy some local bridges so the holy travelers are forced to go through their village. He agrees in hopes that he and his friends can use this time to sneak in finally sleep with the women of their dreams.**Spoiler Alert**
The only thing I knew about Put Your Devil into My Hell was that it wasn’t a horror film. The post I found in one of the groups was talking about how sleazy and funny it was which is not a combination that I often get in a film that I review. However, after finally watching it I have to say that I was not disappointed.
The acting in this one is fun. Some of the characters are grounded and realistic while others are more Monty-Python like. The cast really goes all in with their performances but I tended to enjoy the cast-members that portrayed the overly-dramatic characters that had lots of energy and voices that didn’t match their bodies. The story for this one doesn’t really work if you are looking for a film with a fun plot. However, if you want nudity with a healthy dose of fun characters then I highly recommend this one. The plot does stretch itself too thin and some of the later scenes are underwhelming but the overall film is sexy and funny.
Finally, this is not a bloody one. We get some fun costumes, nice sets and locations, and gorgeous women fully nude. Overall, Put Your Devil into My Hell is a funny sex comedy that I didn’t know I needed in my life. Honestly, I enjoyed it and fans of lighter sexploitation will enjoy this one as well. Full Moon did a fantastic job with this release but the lack of special features is a bit of a bummer.
