It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A young couple, Bill (William Howard) and Lisa (don't know who plays her, but she's a hottie), decide to spend a couple of days of their European vacation in a haunted castle, unaware that the owner (Bambi Allen) and her other guests are devil worshippers.Terror At Orgy Castle: what a great title - shame that it's wasted on a dreadfully dull soft-core porn flick with mild horror trappings, a film made all the more boring by a really monotonous voice-over (seems like director Zoltan G. Spencer couldn't be arsed to record any sound while filming and added the narration afterwards).As far as the sex goes, there's lots of it, although it's a case of strategically placed limbs and careful camera angles obscuring anything too explicit (there is, however, absolutely tons of full frontal nudity from both sexes); the horror is virtually non-existent - certainly nothing to inspire any terror!

This has to be one of the best non-synch sound productions I've seen. You can include The Hand of Pleasure, also seen on this DVD with this assessment, as they're both made by Zoltan Spencer's Satyr IX Productions. Sadly there are no additional credits.Many films of this period were shot on the cheap, synch sound costing a considerable amount of additional set up and shooting time. But where there was money well spent was on the dames. OO-Fah! There be some fine ones here! And the plot actually holds water in an incredibly bizarre way. For the most part, it's a typical haunted house movie, but I love the thrill-seeking hippie spin on it. What would a freaky free loving couple subject themselves to in a haunted house. Considering the rampant occultism of the period, anythings possible.Satyr X seems to have a house band as wellm taking up the dead air left by the narration- only audio track. They're jamming out kinda nicely, 3 or 4 piece band.Wait, I'm midway through Hand of Pleasure, and wow, we have sync sound..and an appearance by a 70s gap-toothed porn queen. Real 70s grunting, and of course, no erections. I like Spencer's productions, you can tell they're really trying to do a real film.

The scoring here may be a little generous but I was expecting little of this, certainly no terror or orgy, but it delivers. In truth one surely has to rate a film within it's genre or budget or intentions. It is no good rating a really good porno one star because it is not Citizen Kane, hence on occasion, like this, the scoring may appear a little high. Nevertheless, I have to report that I enjoyed this. The soundtrack consists of what sounds like a prog rock group warming up, interspersed with a demented church organist plus a narrator substituting for all dialogue, so not a lot going for it you would imagine. OK it is a little slow at times and the (well shot and sexy) sex scenes do seem to go on just a little too long BUT there is a sense of humour here, nothing is taken too seriously and the participants really seem to enjoy themselves. There are some surprisingly effective moments, not least the appearance of the Countess in the most fantastic psychedelic trouser suit. I actually applauded. There is also a fine subversive ending as the 'hero' carries his bride naked in his arms. Dare I say I was reminded here of Bunuel!!? Just enjoy it.

A couple on their honeymoon spend the night at a castle. Little do they know that there are some sinister things going on. Eventually they get caught up in the peversion and mayhem. The married couple are both attractive to look at (especially the bride, who is stunning), and there's enough nudity to satisfy even the most jaded of viewers. Soft-core regular Jane Tsentas makes an appearance and does a lot with a very small role. No dialog, as they hadn't the budget for sound. Instead, there is a voice-over narration. Good, harmless fun.
