An Angel for Satan (1966)

Directed by Camillo Mastrocinque
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Midnight Choir)

Barbara Steele makes her first appearance this October. She returns home to a remote village by a lake. She meets a sculptor, who was hired to restore a statue found at the bottom of the lake. The locals believe the statue is cursed, and soon Barbara takes on its characteristics. She seduces most of the important men of the village, as well as her maid. This leads to several deaths and she is branded as a witch. It's all logically explained in the end. Good black and white cinematography, and Barbara, are the best things about the movie. The title is a misnomer, as Satan is never referenced.
