Devil’s Kiss 1976 hits its 50‑year mark, and the vibes are still as wild, witchy, and wonderfully off‑kilter as ever. Originally released in Spain as “La perversa caricia de Satán,” the 1976 cult horror flick stands tall as one of the era’s most eccentric Euro‑shock curiosities.
Directed by Jordi Gigó and scored by composer Alberto Argudo, the film blends gothic melodrama, occult theatrics, and that unmistakable 70s grindhouse charm. It’s the kind of movie where séance rooms, velvet capes, and supernatural revenge all coexist in one gloriously chaotic universe.
A Spanish Horror Deep Cut
“Devil’s Kiss” sits in that sweet spot of 70s genre cinema — part supernatural thriller, part exploitation romp, part fever‑dream oddity. It’s messy, moody, and magnetic in all the right ways.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
The Fashion? Exceptional.
One of the film’s most unexpected pleasures is its exceptional 70s costuming — a full visual treat of gothic gowns, occult‑coded capes, and dramatic silhouettes that feel equal parts ritual and runway. While official designer credits for the wardrobe aren’t widely documented, the styling reflects the era’s Euro‑horror aesthetic: theatrical, sensual, and dripping in atmosphere.
The Visuals? Far‑Out and Free‑Form
The free‑style dance sequences remain a standout — swirling fabrics, hypnotic lighting, and movement that feels half ritual, half psychedelic trance. It’s pure 1976 energy: unfiltered, unbothered, and absolutely mesmerizing.
A Half‑Century Later
Five decades on, “Devil’s Kiss” remains a cult favorite for horror fans who love their cinema a little strange, a little stylish, and a lot supernatural.
Gander out all the far-out free-style dance visuals!
