The Devil’s Honey - 1986 - Italy

The Devil’s Honey - 1986 - 5/10
AKA - Il Miele del Diavolo


Cecilia is in love with saxophonist Gaetano.
Though he is domineering and demanding, his instrument purrs her fancy.
Then an accident, surgical errors, and Cecilia is left lonely.
Where most would be steeped with regret, she is aflame with vengeance.



I’m unsure how to categorize this Fulci flick.
It is so over the top with sexual misbehavior, layers of domination, trashiness.
Nudity throughout. A saxophone solo is unforgettable, as is bright red nail polish.
Let’s not forget collars and leashes!
Although steeped in sleaze, a series of flashbacks add depth to Cecilia’s character.
