Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Dyrnott – ★★★☆☆
   “Also known as Voodoo Passion is a movie it is so bad it is good. Directed by Grindhouse legend Jesus Franco. This is a remake of Jesus Franco 1970 Nightmares which had the late legendary horror icon Soledad Miranda in it. Shortly before her fatal car crash. This movie has a lot of nudity and s&x but it is not s&xy. It almost comes across silly and absurd at times. The movie definitely is not boring. The original was a horror movie but this is listed as a thriller which it doesn’t seem like a horror movie at all. The rating might seem high but a three means I was entertained but I didn’t give a heart because it’s entertaining for all the wrong reasons.”
2. sakana1 – ★★★½☆
   “Call of the Blonde Goddess (AKA Voodoo Passion) is a more coherent Nightmares Come at Night, with less gauzy dreaminess, and a whole lot more voodoo. And, in many ways, it’s a lot of fun. I will never not love the wide array of bodies and looks among the women in Jess Franco’s films, and this one is a perfect example of his eager embrace of everyone, from the mysterious, statuesque Vicky Adams, to the fleshier Ada Tauler, to the voluptuous Karine Gambier. Despite his fixation on icon figures like Soledad Miranda and Lina Romay, Jess genuinely welcomes all types, and this movie is full of wildly varied bodies of varied races and genders.”
3. Adrian ☕ – ★★★½☆
   “I spontaneously decided to watch this again after reading sakana1’s excellent review of the film. Der Ruf der blonden Göttin is fun, even though nothing makes sense. The character ‘Inès’ is definitely the highlight of the film. But I also loved Karine Gambier’s hilariously sleazy lines of dialogue.”
