Enter the Devil (1972)


Sunset International
Directed by Frank Q. Dobbs
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Massacre Video)

A Satanic cult is kidnapping people and sacrificing them during the rituals in the mountains of southwest Texas. A sheriff who is running for reelection just wants to write it off to wild animals, but sends his deputy to a nearby hunting lodge for a perfunctory investigation, but he is mostly interested in the pretty maids. A pretty doctor of archaeology arrives to research her book on occult religions, and soon finds what she is looking for. She is romanced by the owner of the hunting lodge, who may or may not be part of the cult. Bleak Texas landscape is a good setting, but too often falls into cliched Satanic trappings of hooded robes and chanting, with little to no explanation of motives.
