Beyond The Door. 1974.

A low-budget, unabashed riff on The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby, Beyond the Door is one of the weirdest offerings in the possession horror sub-genre of the 1970s, and despite its unashamed ripping-off of about every possession film up to that point, there are still moments of technical flair and near terror. The film suffers tremendously from godawful dubbing, and Mills' foul-mouthed children who look about ten but talk like they are in the pre teen years. Juliet Mills does a commendable job with the script and is convincingly frightening as she transforms into a complete monster and Richard Johnson who plays a strange character but you never really know what side he is on. Not the best rip of The Exorcist but certainly not the worst.
