Nude for Satan

Critical Perspective

• 

  By walking on the thin edge between erotic horror and pornography, Nuda per Satana follows the same path as other horror films of the period, tempted to jump to the other side of the fence but still retaining some prudish reservation … The script is nothing but a potpourri of Italian Gothic’s main themes and narratives, which perhaps is the most evident symptom of the creative impasse that characterized most of the genre’s efforts. The miles of naked flesh added to its Gothic cloth notwithstanding, the references are so pedantic as to border on philology. … All in all, Nuda per Satana is largely incoherent when it comes to squeeze a sense out of its threadbare plot.
