Sex and Black Magic – DVD Review

DVD Reviews, Reviews

The cannibal craze dominated the scummiest of theaters in the early ‘80s. Odds were if your feet stuck to the concrete floor, there was a flesh eating orgy on the mildew stained silver screen. This was a step above zombie flicks since zombie eat any old brains. Cannibals are a lot more particular in their taste of human. They don’t eat anyone. Sex and Black Magic is more discreet in its approach to cannibalism. By discreet, I mean they didn’t call it Sex, Cannibalism and Black Magic. They allowed the cannibalism element of this Italian production to be spread by word of mouth.

Richard Harrison studies the lifestyle of the natives on exotic islands. He flies his wife (Susan Scott aka Nieves Navarro) to visit him so they can rekindle their romance. What couple’s relationship can’t get heated up when they’re spending time on a cannibal island? How do we know there are cannibals? Cause Harrison sees a deceased man get devoured. There is a tradition to the cannibalism. Turns out in this native tribe the women eat dead males so to keep them alive. It’s not that nasty of a scene. The diners are polite and well mannered while waiting for their meal. It’s like a party where a person gets naked to be a sushi buffet except the guests want more than raw fish and rice. Most of the film focuses on local hottie Lucia Ramirez getting naked and nasty with the wife. These two have a lot of scenes. Indeed there’s so much hot, sweaty action that you’ll find yourself asking where’s the cannibalism? But don’t worry, they haven’t forgotten about the promised feast.

Joe D’Amato was an extremely prolific director. Luckily he made a lot of films that didn’t require too much complicated shooting. Long erotic scenes dominated the plots. He’s best known on my DVD shelf for his work with Laura Gemser on Emanuelle in America, Emanuelle Around the World and Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals. If there’s one thing D’Amato knew was exotic ladies and extreme weirdness. Sex and Black Magic covers both of bases. This is a Cinemax After Dark with a taste of voodoo inspired gore.

The video is 1.78:1 anamorphic. The print looks rather good for a rough production. This doesn’t look like it was destroyed in the grindhouse circuit. The audio is a mono Italian track. Luckily there are English subtitles.

Alternate Scene (0:50) is a bonus take of a bedroom scene between Richard Harrison and Nieves Navarro.

Unused Shots (3:43) is a grab bag of raw footage from the mundane to the seductive.


Hardcore Inserts (9:48) are XXX action featuring Lucia Ramirez taken from Sesso nero.

Original End Credits (0:48) would involve spoiling the ending. Watch after you’ve seen the film.

Photo Gallery are pictures taken behind the scenes.

Sex and Black Magic brings the creepy sensuality found in D’Amato’s Emmanuelle movies. There’s plenty of sexuality with a dash of gore. The bonus footage should be very educational for fans of the grindhouse. This movie is not made for the timid. This is type of sex and violence film that TV preachers protest. This movie is a tempting taboo on many levels.
