SATAN'S BLOOD

(aka: Escalofrio)
dir. Carlos Puerto, 1978
82 min, Spain
Dubbed in English.

Andres and Ana are a couple living in Madrid. One fine day they decide to pack the car and wrangle their dog and set out for a fun time in the Spanish countryside. Not long into their trip, they encounter another car on the road. The couple in the other car, Bruno and Berta, flag them down. Bruno is excited to see his old college buddy Andres, but Andres isnt so sure they know each other. Never-the-less, the two couples set out for Bruno and Bertas gigantic house for a grand reunion and a nice hot meal. But once they arrive, a storm rolls and in the as the weather gets worse and worse, Andres and Ana decide to stay the night. When the foursome decide to tamper with the spirit world in the form of a Ouija board, things really start to get weird. But thats the least of their problems.

Drug fueled orgies, suicide, creepy living dolls, and a freezer full of who knows what become a disorienting whirlpool and the helpless couple cant get out. Trapped by a coven of devil worshipers, the film builds to a terrifying, twisting climax.

Produced by none other than Juan Piquer Simon (PIECES, SLUGS) SATANS BLOOD is a veritable cornucopia of sin and debauchery. A gothic tale of Satanic panic whos influence can be seen as recently as Ti Wests throwback jam/only good movie HOUSE OF THE DEVIL while showcasing the Spanish countryside and a score by Simon regular Librado Pastor.
