Necropolis plot

"Beneath the metropolis is..."

A satanic witch from about 1600 reincarnates and tries to revive her loyal followers by sucking the life force from defenseless victims. The witch from New Amsterdam does this by inciting her victims to commit suicide and murder. Together with her followers, she rides a motorcycle through the streets, looking for a young virgin. She needs it to stay alive.

Necropolis looks most like a video clip that got out of hand.

The heavily made-up LeeAnne Baker performs a number of dances (especially for Satan) and walks around in a short leather skirt for a large part of the film. The texts are nicely recited at the level of a theatre performance by ten-year-olds. The typical eighties atmosphere is so thick that it almost seems like a parody of the period in question. The director was apparently never allowed to show his skills again after this.

Very lame 80s where the movie poster and even title don't describe the content of the movie. Necropolis? I don't think we saw that. The movie starts somewhere in the 19th century with a satanic dance ritual in disco style.

Central is the revenge motif of a witch who was burned at the stake and wants to tackle all the descendants of the perpetrators. In doing so, there is a kind of reincarnation of all those protagonists from 2 centuries ago.

For the rest a lot of ridiculous and cheap effects, but also absurd plot moments. It just doesn't make sense. Low budget is possible, but then don't make it a motley crew. The only nice thing was perhaps that shot as a sow that reminds of Total recall with Arnie, here you get twice as much.
