This movie crushes them all - the blockbusters of Hollywood and all the independent-artsy-fartsy movies together - this movie is like Finchers Fight Club or Fritz Langs Metropolis to me - visionary and unbelievable good. El barón contra los Demonios remembers me a little of comic-books from the masters Alejandro Jodorowsky and Juan Giménez (Meta-Barons etc.) and the like: sex, gore, eternal war settled in a universe full of warriors and queens and assassins, with the pomp of the Nibelungen or Frank Herberts Dune. The story: Christian-Crusaders fight a bitter never-ending war against the hordes of demons of the satanic deep. The unholy priestess Doña Pervertvm hunting the Baron for his holy sperm to create in her wombs the next super-demon to rule the galaxy and overcome the Christian cult. The ingredients: Muppets-like demons fight against real actors, some sex and torture-scenes, all in great pathos and color done. The dialogs are so bad that they are reborn superb again. this movie is a movie of its own kind with a own visual look, something like the muppets on a bad acid trip. In a certain way The Baron Against the Demons reminds me a little of Mutant Chronicles (Ron Perlman) - the viewer is just dropped into this foreign world without too much or great explanations. So if you are open-minded and like sci-fi and you like trash (lots of it), and you are willing to let your mind be absorbed into an absurd cosmoz - this movie is for you. but be warned - i guess this movie is for most movie connoisseurs a 1 or a 10. So u get it or u don't, not much other choice I guess - but for me there is just one choice: 10! ;)

Guys,i am not kidding,this movie is awesome! You like bad girls "succubus-like"? You will find here the best one i have ever seen, (and probably the hottest), Lady Pervertum! My god,i love her! You like aliens? This movie have it! You like strange technologies? like spaceships but with vapor engines? This movie have some crazy inventions you really must see! You like b-movie feeling and are you maybe,like me,in love when you see some trashy gore? And what about costumes fight? Again, this movie have it! The universe created by Ricardo Ribelles is incredible,with a mechanized-Christians cult against hordes of daemons,with aliens and only god know what else!I fell in love with "Pervirella",another movie that mix sex,a strange feeling of corrupted futurism,and craziness,but finally after ages i have found another movie i like in the same way! "The baron against the demons".I don't know if you will like it,because it's almost totally different from any other movies around,but i feel to recommend it to b-movie lovers and open-mind people that like strange movies! And sci-fi lovers of course.It's an instant cult for me: 10/10.

"The Baron Against the Demons" tells the story of a warrior called the Baron. He is sent on a mission to defeat evil demons, but the military mastermind of the new crusaders, the Colonel, stays in the bunker and sends an aircraft after the Baron with an atomic bomb, just in case..."The Baron Against the Demons" is an utterly insane mixture. Alien muppets, ladies in leather and a bloodthirsty white haired warrior create a feeling of "Barbarella" meets "El Topo" while "Farscape" meets "Elric of Melnibone". Shot in Catalonia and on Tenerife Island, it is quite impressive what a minimum budget production can achieve with the landscapes and models, which have the charming rusty look of Jules Verne's submarines. Occasionally very bloody, with many heads and limbs chopped off, the movie received a rather mild censorship rating (in Germany: FSK 16) due to the obvious use of puppets, I suppose. The movie's biggest problem is that it is terribly talkative. The hero is hit by a spear once in a fight, and instead of simply falling to the ground wounded and screaming, he begins a long monologue about the essence of pain, the spirit of fighting, God, the Devil and the rest of the world. Unbelievable. I wonder which audience this is aimed at, I wouldn't know who to recommend it to, but you can't take away one thing from the director: that he made something completely different.
