That’s when I remembered an old horror film I saw when I was about 7 years old. The problem was I did not remember much about it, beside 3 gorgeous ladies killing a young man.

So, that didn’t help me much. Then one day, I found a box (I had forgotten about it) it was filled with erotic-horror comic books and magazines. That’s when I got lucky. I recognized the black and white photos; there it was the movie I remembered from my childhood.

Wow, watching erotic-horror films at the age of 7. 
I was watching Don Notts' films like THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN at that age.

heu,

Actually I had bouht that box of goodies about 5 years ago.

But come to think of it, I was checking those kind of magazines in secrets.

Does sound like an interesting idea.  Updating it will take some thinking, though.  Though having the women consume and wear some of the ridiculous stuff that passes for high fashion these days might not be as outrageous as it was then.

This is how I became a fan of Le regine (Queens of Evil).

I work for a production company that specializes in production shows for casinos across Canada and the USA. When we go away for a run, it’s for 2 months at a time.
So last year in order to have some activities, I started to write a script for a movie. I also directed an edited my first film called Beyond the Stage: Access to backstage secrets.

This year before leaving for the States for another long run. I decided to start working on another film project. My mind was blank no good idea for a script. So I decided to look up into my old collection of comic books. Because at the end of each issue, there was a short horror or suspense story. Once again no luck, nothing seemed interesting.

After searching for many hours on the internet I was able to get more and more information’s about my favourite movie. 

Now I really want to make a remake of this classic film.

Anyone else interested in such a project???
 
Thanks

I was wondering if the remake should be an exact replica from the original or if the new project should be an alternative view based on the original film???

Sorry to derail this from the re-make path this post is tending, but the conveyed critisism of this film a few posts back about the gowns being invading made me want to put in my humble view.  I have been fortunate enough to watch this movie, through the kindness of Jonny, and have really become attached to it.  I think what I like the most about this film, aside from one hell of a lightening storm, is the way the visual piece runs its own course apart but parallel to the story/acting.  I found  as a viewer that I had to balance things to achieve the proper mixture, which is something I aim for.

Many thanks again.

You'll need to get remake rights from the owner to do this.

What about the bloke who plays the Devil?  Who is this actor and has he appeared in any other horror flicks?  I like the funeral scene and his tirade against his assembled demoniaques - "You call yourself conjurers?!"

Gianni Santucci.
The only other films i've seen him in that come to mind are Brunello Rondi's DOMANI NON SIAMO PIU' QUI and Petri's INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN ABOVE SUSPICION,can't think of any horror stuff he's done.

Hi everyone at Lovelock.

I was digging around Giallo Fever and read about the existance of a pristine DVD of Queens of Evil / Il delitto del diavolo ( Tonino Cervi 1973 ). I am a HUGE fan of this film and only have a ropey old dvdr sourced from a vhs copy. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Cheers.

You'll find more information a few pages back on this merged thread.  What I recall about the reporting on this Japanese DVD is that it runs shorter than the fandubs making the rounds (it may be a PAL-NTSC transfer and since it has a French title card it may reflect a shorter French cut of the film) but image quality is supposed to be good.  The fandubs are derived from a great quality widescreen Italian tape (superior to the UK pre-cert).

Hey, thanks for the swift response. Just been pouring over the thread. Love the fan dub dvd artwork, classier than many a bona fide release. Would love to get hold of the widescreen fan dub. Will there be another using the Japanese dvd source?

[Jonny]

Will there be another using the Japanese dvd source?

It's possible to do but would be a ball ache as the Japanese DVD runs at an odd speed so that would need sorting out, then the cut bits would need editing in, then the audio would need synching up (or subtitles making)...

If anyone's up for doing all that I'll gladly supply a copy of my Japanese DVD.

[ecc]

an odd speed?

[Jonny]

an odd speed?

Yeah, it runs fast, which you'd usually put down to 'PAL speed up' but it's actually NTSC. How would you correct that?

[ecc]

so it's a standards conversion.
