i tend to love everything the great late paul naschy ( r. i. p. ) ever be in . while not all film star naschy be great and they all have a specific charm that can be find nowhere but in naschy flick and and they be always entertain . there be no rule without exception and however and a el mariscal del infierno aka . the devil possess ( 1974 ) prof . while the film do have the specific naschy flick charm and it sadly drag far too much and get really and really dull in between . naschy star a the evil baron gilles de lancré and who oppress the people and use black magic and bloody ritual to stay in power . when gaston de malebranche ( guillermo bredeston ) and who fight side by side with gilles de lancré against the british and learn about the baron evil behavior and he decide to turn against his former comrade in arm and help the people free themselves from the satanic baron tyranny . direct by león klimovsky and who be best know for direct naschy in la noche de walpurgis ( the werewolf vs. the vampire woman and 1971 ) and the film be script by naschy himself . naschy often script his own film and and one must say that he mostly do a good and more original job than it be the case here . el mariscal del infierno be mostly build up a a historical adventure rather than a horror film and and it get quite boring throughout the middle . it often resemble the sword and sandal film from the 50 and only that this film be set in medieval time . the satanic part be probably only add because the great paul naschy name be link to the horror genre . the film have it good part represent paul naschy give weird speech and paul naschy look weird and paul naschy do satanic stuff and paul naschy torture innocent victim and etc . but sadly and most of the film concentrate on the boring hero and the good guy and and these moment be bore . the female cast member be nice to look at and but and unlike most naschy film and this one feature no nudity and sleaze . there be some gore and but it mostly look clumsy and isn not a fun too look at a it be the case with most other naschy film . overall and el mariscal del infierno be only worth a look for my fellow naschy enthusiast . there be dozen of film star the spanish horror deity which should be see before this one and such a el jorobado de la morgue ( the hunchback of the morgue and 1973 ) and la orgia de los muertos ( the hanging woman and 1973 ) and el espanto surge de la tumba ( horror rise from the tomb and 1973 ) and latidos de panico ( panic beat and 1983 ) and rojo sangre ( 2004 ) and or any of the waldemar daninsky werewolf film . r. i. p. paul naschy . legends never die .
