Reception
[edit]An review from Movies and Mania reads: "The Devil’s Mistress is not a coherent picture; that may have been the point. Questions are posed but never answered. The couple has travelled from Salem, “to escape religious persecution” – is the woman, Liah, a witch? Why does the meat they serve their ravenous houseguests taste strange? Is Liah avenging herself by causing the deaths of these men – two of whom she kisses passionately, imparting some kind of fatal malady; another is bitten by a rattler; the fourth dies by hanging – or is she the agent of a higher power: “I will send the poison of the serpent and the mouth of the beast upon them”? The ending is characteristically enigmatic."[2]
