The Antichrist. 1974.
Carla Gravina plays a paralysed woman who wants to be cured of her disability and goes under hypnosis only for her to have a vision of her past life as a witch and becomes possessed.
I first saw this film last year and fairly enjoyed it and after buying the new Studio Canal release I enjoyed it a second time round. Yeah it is a Exorcist rip-off but it's done decently and a interesting story of possession and how it happens. The movie has a very good and creepy soundtrack done by Ennio Morricone. If it weren't for the soundtrack this movie would not have been very good as it does help create the dark atmosphere. One of the leading stars in the movie is the infamous Mel Ferrer who has been in a few Italian horror flicks. This exploitation picture displays eerie horror , witchcraft , grisly killings , bestiality , satanism and lots of blood and gore, and hot peas soup being brought up and a long flight of stairs outside a house. Fan of the Exorcist rip offs will certainly enjoy this one.
