Audience Member Supposedly, The Devil's Wedding Night (AKA Full Moon of the Virgins) was all Mark Damon's idea. After being in House of Usher, Damon had moved to Italy and appeared in movies like Black Sabbath and Johnny Yuma. Perhaps this idea was the start of his producing career, which was more successful than his acting job. Damon was planning on selling the movie an American production company. Luigi Batzella (Nude for Satan, The Beast In Heat) was picked to direct, but most people believe that Joe D'Amato stepped in and finished the film. I'm a firm believer in this theory because there's a moment near the end of this movie where an otherworldly Countess Dolingen De Vries rises from a bathtub of blood and fog and writhes near nude on the screen and somehow going beyond the confines of the screen to destroy my mind. I generally try my best not to turn reviews of movies with atrractive women into male gaze spectacles, but Rosalba Neri is absoutely iconic in this moment, a perfect scene that is never discussed nearly enough. There's also a magic vampire ring of the Nibelungen, which is gigantic costume jewelery and therefore better than any Hollywood baubles, village girls with sacred amulets of Pazuzu (yes, really), five virgins getting sacrificed all at once in an express line of bloodletting magic, three different twist endings in a row, tripped out Dr. Who looking tunnel moments, D'Amato billing himself as Michael Holloway and going absolutely wlld capturing every inch of womanly curves and an incredible setting, the Castello Piccolomini Balsorano, the same place Lady Frankenstein, Bloody Pit of Horror, Crypt of the Vampire, The Lickerish Quartet, The Blade Master, Sister Emanuelle, The Bloodsucker Leads the Dance, The Reincarnation of Isabel, Farfallon, Pensiero d'amore, Lady Barbara, 7 Golden Women Against Two 07: Treasure Hunt, C'è un fantasma nel mio letto, Baby Love and Put Your Devil Into My Hell were all shot at. Plus, Xiro Papas, the monster of Frankenstein 80, plays a vampiric giant. If you're a fan of the harder side of Hammer, then allow this female vampire to obsess you as well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member There's a plot, but it's hard to follow. The film feels like it's made from spliced up scenes with some generic Dracula elements. There's some uniqueness to it, but good luck trying to figure out what exactly. It's a mess. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member As seen on the "Elvira" show: In yet another incarnation of the Elizabeth Bathory legend, this film is so monotonous that the Elvira segments were actually the best part of the show.
