Satan's Mistress: The Extraordinary Story of the 18th Century Fanatic Joanna Southcott and Her Lifelong Battle with the Devil

Product Information

Driven by the blinding force of those sweet nightmares, he wakens from the sleep of centuries a monstrosity he cannot control Soon he is not the possessor, but the possessed: the instrument of her insatiable flesh-hunger, tearing a hideous swathe through the shattered torpor of the quiet New England town. Director James Polakof doesn't really succeed in what he tried for but, again, I give him credit for trying. The film is never suspenseful and it's also fair to say that the movie doesn't quite grab you like it should. What makes the film work is the fact that it is rather sleazy with there being several sex scenes and of course there's Wood willing to take it all off. There's full frontal nudity throughout the film and for the most part I thought she delivered a fine performance. Britt Ekland plays her psychic friend and John Carradine shows up as a Priest.

We've seen countless possession movies but I will give this one credit in that it at least tries to be good. I say that because a lot of low-budget horror movies know there will be an audience out there for them so they can deliver crap if they want to and usually fans will except it. This film really wants to try and scare the viewer by delivering some psychological elements with the story. The film never wants us to know if the lead character is crazy or if she's normal. It's never clear if she's really having this sexual relationship or if it's all in her head. Is this man Satan himself or some sort of ghost? The film gives higher screen credit to Britt Ekland, who had only a minor role but more star power, having previously played Mary Goodnight in The Man with the Golden Gun. Lana Wood is known to many as Plenty O'Toole from the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. Kabir Bedi was featured as the Bond villain's henchman Gobinda in Octopussy. SATAN'S MISTRESS has been released under a number of titles including DEMON SEED, DEMON RAGE, FURY OF THE SUCCUBUS and DARK EYES. No matter what you want to call it, this here is pretty much a show for fans of Wood. If you were disappointed that she didn't pop out of her suit in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER then you'll be happy to know that she's fully nude throughout this picture. Obviously with the plot and all the sex and nudity, this here is pretty much a sleazy horror picture and on that level it works.Satan's Mistress (also known as Demon Rage, Demon Seed, Fury of the Succubus and Dark Eyes) [1] is a 1980 horror film that was theatrically released in 1982. It is about a sexually frustrated housewife, Lisa (played by actress Lana Wood), who, having been distanced from her husband Carl ( Don Galloway), begins having nightly trysts with an apparition that gradually takes on the form of a tall, dark stranger (played by Kabir Bedi) who turns out to be a ghost from the other side.

The film was released the same year as the similarly themed The Entity, differing in that the sex in Satan's Mistress is consensual.She haunted his dream's with her vicious sensuality: the image of the red-haired siren raged in his blood, becoming his one reality. I read Satan's Seductress recently, but only have the first bunch of notes to show for it, the rest being an unreadable scrawl because I spilt a drink over them (!). So, what is Satanism? If your image of Lucifer is a bald guy with a goatee, you are thinking of Anton LaVey, who founded the Church of Satan in 1966 in San Francisco. LaVey, who claimed to be a former lion tamer, carnival barker, and crime scene photographer, offered an alternative to flower-power hippie happenings with Witches’ Workshops and sexy, dark rituals. He described the Church of Satan as “something that would smash all concepts of what a ‘church’ was supposed to be. This was a temple of indulgence to openly defy the temples of abstinence that had been built up until then. We didn’t want it to be an unforgiving, unwelcoming place, but a place where you could go to have fun.” Members of the Church of Satan do not worship the devil—instead, they see Satan as “a symbol of pride, liberty, and individualism,” according to churchofsatan.com.
