This is a 1966 Italian horror thriller film in monolog. It was directed by Camillo Mastrocinque and it stars Barbara Steele, Anthony Steffen and Claudio Gora.
Set during the 19th century on a remote fishing village, a statue is discovered from the bottom of the lake and an artist is hired to restore it. Once the artist arrives in the village, he's aware of local gossip about the statue making everyone superstitious with fear that it's cursed. Mysterious deaths happen and a woman becomes obsessed with the statue.
The English actress Barbara Steele made a number of Italian gothic films but this was the last one she made before working on other genres. The film is based on a novel of the same name by Luigi Emmanuele, a writer who worked in films including "The Last Days of Pompeii" 1959. The film "An Angel for Satan" is both chilling and full of twists. I give this haunting piece of gothic supernatural drama a worthy 8/10.
