7/10
Very rare Renato Polselli's giallo.
16 April 2010
"La Verita Secondo Satana" was produced by Renato Polselli's own company G.R.P. Cinematografica.The film was originally titled "The Gospel by Satan".A beautiful Rita Calderoni believes she has driven her lover to suicide.According to Jay Slater because of the word gospel in the title "La Verita Secondo Satana" was instantly accused of blasphemy and its distribution was very limited.Once considered a lost title Polselli's film was broadcast on the smallest Italian television networks during the early 80s.To bypass censorship and distribution hassles Polselli shot three different versions and although the movie was released five times during the 70s the director added new footage to each print,while deleted certain scenes.The hardest print of "La Verita Secondo Satana" features a close-up of the female orgasm.To achieve this Polselli filmed the actress's face,body and pubic region in extreme detail as the female orgasm is less evident than the male.I'd love to see Polselli's "Delitto al Luna Park" from 1952,because it's considered the first Italian giallo ever made.
