THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS

Cinemavixion Review

Orville Wanzer's "The Devil's Mistress" from 1965 is a curious blend of Western and supernatural horror, offering a unique revenge narrative. The film centers on a mute woman who, after her husband is murdered and she is abducted and assaulted by a group of outlaws, unleashes occult powers to exact a terrifying vengeance. While the film's production values and pacing may reflect its era, the premise is undeniably potent. Joan Stapleton leads the cast, portraying the wronged woman with a silent intensity that speaks volumes. The external data suggests a runtime of 66 minutes, indicating a potentially lean and focused execution of its dark themes. "The Devil's Mistress" stands as an intriguing, albeit lesser-known, entry for those seeking unconventional genre mashups and tales of retribution.
