Succubus (1967)
Director: Jesús Franco
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Franco, the prolific Spanish director, decks out a glossy Freudian sex movie with a mass of undigested cultural reference, and an endless series of studiously sub-surrealist dream sequences. But despite a promisingly erotic opening, he can't hide the grinding banality of the plot, which has absolutely nothing to do with the title or even 'bizarre sexual rites' (as the ads claimed). In fact, it's a standard 'girl commits murder in a trance' situation which will have you sunk in boredom within a very few minutes.Author: DP
