A young woman travels with her partner to England on the unexpected death of her brother. Staying with her sister-in-law, she finds her companion soon drawn into a satanic cult based in the house whose rites seem to centre somewhat on large-scale sexual congress.
Jose Ramon Larraz's "Black Candles" is a rare Spanish horror/sleaze film about a young woman named Carol who finds out that various family members are involved with a satanic cult. The film is loaded with sleazy sex and satanism, so I wasn't disappointed. Still it's not as memorable as Larraz's erotic masterpiece "Vampyres". The lighting is poor and the acting is amateurish. The sex scene between a black goat and a woman has to be seen to be believed. There is also an incredibly nasty moment which has a man killed by having a sword shoved into him between his legs. To sum up,if you are into European exploitation cinema give this one a look. However if you like your horror without sleaze avoid this one like the plague. 7 out of 10.
