This much I recall about The Reincarnation of Isabel, less than 24 hours after viewing:
1. It opens with the memorable image of a nude nun, her chest cavity blackened and burned as if she’s missing a heart.
2. Holy shit, she is!
3. A vampire played by Mickey Hargitay (Bloody Pit of Horror) is trying to revive his deceased lover (Rita Calderoni, Nude for Satan) through a ritual requiring the ticker and peepers of a virgin.
4. Everything else played like a loathsome fever dream mixed with Dramamine and three vodka tonics.
The Italian film from writer/director Renato Polselli (The Vampire and the Ballerina) also is known under of the alternate, better title Black Magic Rites. That’s a very important piece of info, as I almost bought this maddening piece of shit twice. #themoreyouknow —Rod Lott
