Movie Reviews of Welcome to the Grindhouse - Black Candles and Evil Eye
Movie Review: Black Candles is second only to Rosemary's Baby and the Ninth Gate
Summary: 5 Stars
(This 5 stars is just for "Black Candles"). If you are looking for movies that portray a Satanic group from a traditional point of view, along the lines of Rosemary's Baby and The Ninth Gate, this is the next best movie, in my opinion. It's a shame that it's less known than some other ones, like these: The City of the Dead (uncut British version of Horror Hotel), The Masque of the Red Death (1964), The Black Cat (1934), The Seventh Victim (1943), Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970), Blood on Satan's Claw (1971), Alucarda, The Pyx (1973), Anticristo (1974), The Devil's Rain (1975). Although the others I just listed are similar themed, they just don't portray, from beginning to end, the same type of steady paced traditional Satanist perspective that this one does. It still falls behind Rosemary's Baby and the Ninth Gate, and, like one previous reviewer pointed out, has no climax or finalized plot development at the end (like "House of the Devil" does, another recent movie). On the other hand, like another reviewer mentioned, if this is the type of movie you are looking for, you have "hit the jackpot" with "Black Candles". Some of the scenes seem kind of extreme or disjointed, and it doesn't have the steady flow of the Polanski movies, which still makes it kind of a distant third runner up after "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Ninth Gate". But still, it's the one that comes closest to the first two.
