The seven deadly sins and the characters who commit them

Pride - Alvin, the Seminarian.
Envy - Corinne (the hot brunette), the “collector of men.”
Gluttony - Mr. Ducha, the Tour Driver.
Lust - Howard Foster, Corinne's last addition to her collection.
Wrath - Mr. Mason, the curmudgeonly complainer.
Greed - Nancy Foster, the gold-seeking angry wife.
Sloth - Regine, the (hot) sleepy blonde.

Some, of course, are guilty of more than one main sin, such as:

Nancy Foster, the angry wife: jealousy (although her husband gives her good reason to be jealous), envy (of the beauty of the other women) and wrath (I don't think she smiles once, except when she's literally swimming in gold).
Corinne: lust (lesbianism & adultery).

The original title translated to English is "The Long Night of the Devil" or "The Devil's Longest Night." I feel "The Devil's Nightmare" is weak and much prefer another alternative title used for the VHS and one DVD version: "The Devil Walks at Midnight."

Where did you see this movie? Netflix doesn't have it, nor does Amazon. I thought I found it on YouTube (it's listed as The Devil's Nightmare 1971) but I just started it and it's actually a movie called Apparition and it must be relatively new because the first character is talking on her cellphone!

I saw the DVD version that's a double feature with "Messiah of Evil." It's not a very good version (the sound is dubious), but I prefer it to the DVD versions that tack on that irrelevant, tasteless porno-horror "intro."

Here's a DVD of it under the title "The Devil Walks at Midnight" for $15: https://www.amazon.com/Devil-Walks-at-Midnight/dp/B01GF13AVS/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=The+Devil+Walks+at+Midnight&qid=1572042260&s=movies-tv&sr=1-1

The sleepy blonde being sloth was the one that took me the longest to figure out.

I have to confess to doing a poor job attributing the sins to the characters, one or two were blatant but others a bit less so. So thanks for this.
